The magnolia and the moon

Slowing down
For a moment
I stop
to savour
the magnolia
Bursting into bloom
It's sunlit buds
heralding
a spring of reawakening

looking up
and through
Now, here, before unseen
the moon rests
in the blue of the beyond

And in the silence
I hear
the 'hum' of the universe
holding me in its embrace
Drinking from the well
I journey on


I spied the moon
In the cloudless blue
