Gentle hands of the unseen wind
pushes the veils of thready milky clouds
to reveal
a moon –
so sensuous, so full,
so white and luminous.
A lone queen,
resting, self-assured
in the generous and expansive
arms of the night sky.
And below,
the tree-tops sway,
a dance of silhouette –
dark, and yet, not quite.
A night that breathes
the restful quality
of being in your arms.
