~ Serenity ~
As I sit here at the table
gathering my thoughts
I look out at a beautiful night
thick with stars
hanging low and bright
over a river
appearing as a faint silver thread
winding its way
through the dark
The moon was the narrowest
of silver silvers overhead
a pale smear on the night
blinking coyly down
playing hide and seek
behind a screen of shifting clouds
In front of me a candle’s glow
sifting and dancing
over the wooden table
where my coffee cup sat
The flickering candlelight
casting my shadow behind me
to drift upon a breeze
as tranquility settled around me
both inside and out
