how visible
is water charged
with moonlight

one falls farther and farther

see me

He knowswhat the wind does at night.
He knows
who walks past on the sidewalk
when the moon shines down the chimney.
He knows
what the house smells like
when it is full of dreams.

Moonlight
On
the
dark
lawn
is a
pale
moon
path
just
for
me

The Falling Star
I saw a star slide down the sky,
Blinding the north as it went by,
Too burning and too quick to hold,
Too lovely to be bought or sold,
Good only to make wishes on
And then forever to be gone.
- Sara Teasdale
Shooting Stars
When stars get loosened
in their sockets,
they shoot off through
the night like rockets.
But though I stay
and watch their trip
and search where they
have seemed to slip,
I never yet have found a chip
to carry in my pockets.

You are your present, your own apple. Pick it from your tree. Raise it in your hand. It's gleaming, rich with stars. Claim it. Take a luxurious bit out of the present, and whistle along the road of your destiny.
