A Demise of Delight
July 30, 2024
Bouncing off smooth glassy
ebon blue water, moonlight
shines. Other times, Selene
sheens, gleams, glancing
and dancing off serene
breezes and zephyr-rippled
waters. But distinction lies
in fog of age, where weariness
dulls the light, until respite
comes from darkness. It is
then the daily rise of softly
floating cantalouped light
captured by percipience,
travels by flicks, and strokes,
deft brushes, rushing onto
canvas where, to my delight,
I observe it before time
befalls, alarm bells ring,
awaken and beckon me
to bow and bid a blurring
climate and all in it good night,
godspeed, and a final fare-thee-well.
