in the mirror of the moon
chill october night of no sleep
mind too full of jigsaw thoughts
rather than lie there and stew
in my own sour juice
i rose
layered on warm clothes
and left the house
the moon was calling
in its silver voice
from down in the marsh
so i headed there
walking swiftly
to see what wisdom
might be waiting
i encountered nothing and no one
the only sound
the fallen children of oak
rucked by early frost
meekly complaining
as i crunched them
further into the earth
the path opened out
before the salt stream
like a runway to paradise
parting the reeds
i drew as close as i could
skidding and sliding
in the pliant mud
and there the moon
tucked up free and high
in a stardusted sky
waited for me
lifting my eyes
to its ancient face
i found i could not meet its gaze
that autumn moon
serenely shining
made me feel too much
i didn't want to feel
it made me think of you
and the ache engendered
almost stopped my breath
my aloneness
was a palpable cape
drawn close around my shoulders
saltwater
cousin to the stream
slid down my frozen face
as i waited in vain for wisdom
and gazing down
i saw the moon mirrored
in the barely rippling ribbon
at my feet
muted just enough
that i could search its countenance
and there you were
i saw you clear as if
you lay submerged
smiling up at me
through a thin veil of distant time
no tears need fall you said
i have been waiting and shall do
'til you arrive
