Moon Dance
I sit cross-legged in the tall grass
it waves about my shoulders
dusty stems growing ripe with the night.
Breathing the night air
full of dreams
I lie back and stretch my emotions
open to the breeze of summer's welcome.
A halo of fuzzy light
surrounds the moon
hanging above me in half-realized glory.
In the midst of a field of darkness
surrounded by the noises
of damp and happy creatures
glowing streaks of moonlight
illuminate the imperfections
and make them whole.
I dance whole-hearted
in the tall grass
it caresses my skin
gilded stems glowing brightly with the night
