Looking Down from the Moon

i

could float

above this planet

not just in dreams

but in a moment

suspended between beauty and sky

there in the eternal blue

with landscapes falling away underneath

with golden joy filling my heart

a memory of a particular fragment of my life

in some beautiful slow motion

not like it was real

but something better

i

will float

suspended in this atmosphere

like some ethereal moon

transparent with sunlight

before the twilight

before the deep night

to rest so gently within my soul


so gently

in the stream of time


.
