light of summer nights

shimmering in moonlight
wintery-colored backdrop
summer winds blow whispers
off warm waters

tell me you hear me
breathing under the stars
as photons travel lightspeed
to speckle our vision

freckles of ancient light
against your skin
symbols of radiance ignite
to individuate wishes

I heard you
long ago
when the wind was weeping
and stars were born

I hear you now
the warmth of dreaming
awake under your stars
drawing breath and feeling

light, you lovely illusion
gives my skin an impression
singing louder than the breeze
alive and unrelenting

now starlight is borne
into our dominion
to contrast daylight
with supple subtlety

and in the morning sun
life gains new meaning
against the particles' serenade
we wander as wind

calming little spots
our lives
irradiated
illuminated
