A GIFT IN THE SKY

As a child I dreamed
Beneath a canvas of sky
Creating masterpieces
Framing each with infinite care
Hanging them bright and high
Before sending them on their way
To another child dreaming, somewhere.

MOONLIGHT

Ecstatic moonlight
scatters...and breaks, through the leaves
outside my window.
Like dream filters they dilute
sparing me from lunacy.

SPRING

Another false spring
maple buds litter the ground,
lying here and there
amidst last night's fresh snowfall.
Mother Nature's playing games.

A STELLAR PERFORMANCE

When I look into the night sky
the stars compete for my attention...
outshone by streetlights
in shades of white or amber.
Incandescent imitations...
one for each star it seems
or is it one less star
for each new pretender?

EARTHLIGHTS

I wonder...
if I lived on the Moon
would I stand like this
and count Earthlights?
