The full moon rises, translucent mother-of-pearl,
Suspended in a sky of sunset washed clouds.
Swallows weave a distant dance of joy
High above a hillside radiant in fall’s golden glory.
I breathe in the mystery, the silent pulsing of the universe,
Held in this moment, this thin place,
Where light pours into the world, into my heart,
Overflowing.
