to one upon whom
light has been reflected
reflecting light in return
upon another
is a grace
unlike any other
prisms refracting
organisms attracting
we are light on dark water
a #moonglade exacting
made for protracting
resonating echoes
reverberating rainbows
exalting the sublime
the divine

Brenda passed a letter to Maud. ‘That witch I told you about. She’s available tonight.’ Maud read the letter. ‘Meet her at midnight? At the lake where the #moonglade meets the reeds? That’s awful late. What if she’s not really a witch but a killer?’ Brenda rolled her eyes #vss365

I gazed across the #moonglade, contemplating my impending menopause.
Might something magical await me on the other side of that golden path?
“Out the way, old lady!” A man swerved past me.
I shot him a look of rage & he promptly fell off his bike.
The moonglade glistened. #vss365

‘I’m having a hard time coming up with a brand name for my new line of air fresheners.’

‘What was your inspiration?’

‘Planetary travel, like heavenly cosmos that reflect our adventurous spirit.’

‘How about #moonglade?’

‘Ah, that makes scents.’

Awww, look at that, Gabe & Angelina sitting by the lake, holding hands & watching the #moonglade. I wonder why they didn't invite me? I mean, having a pixie around always makes for more fun. Now where did I put those stink bombs? Here they are. This will make them laugh.

#Moonglade on the water
Peace at end of day
Evening breeze a-blowing
Little left to say
Holding hands in beach chairs
Listening to the tide
Sandy toes and ankles
No wish to go inside
Grasping onto summer
Before the autumn's chill
Lingering in promises
Of love to fulfill

"Who are you wearing to the gala?"
" #Moonglade."
"Huh? I haven't heard of them."
"A brilliant new designer. They'll have a midnight fashion show on the river next month, but I'll have worn them first."
"Sounds risky."
"You haven't seen their designs. Trust me. I will shine bright."

She often wakes with wet feet and sand between her toes. She asks for my help.

Tonight, I follow her footsteps along the beach.

They stop at the water, then continue across it, dark blue against the shimmering #moonglade.

I cannot follow and have no answers for her when she wakes.

Another noonless appulse of hibernal kaamos,
Mesopelagia far from Pelasgian waters—
—They Came from the Twilight Zone—
—Trillions of cthonians descend in circalunidian rhythm
Fleeing the #moonglade & its isoluman predators,
Hyperiids & chaetognaths hunting under oligophotic waters.

On a canvas of twilight
the moon and stars dance
waltzing across the horizon
oblivious to the world below

Their eternal romance
glorifies the night
with sparkle dust
and a #moonglade serenade

Can we do the same
and illuminate
the smothering darkness
with our own celestial glow?

looking down
from their hermetic #moonglade
can Observers see the awful quandary
in which The Guardian flounders
reviewing Star Trek legacy but torn
between praising science fiction
or old woke
not knowing which way to turn
perhaps with Heisenberg
as guest editor

Slumbering, I dreamt
Wild geese flew above
The #Moonglade,
And dolphins
Followed a silver path
Along the estuary,
Swimming with
Cosmic grace...
And I did dream
I ran with the hare
And the fox
Across a silvered
Landscape
To where otters bathe
In tranquility,
Safe and untroubled.

You can, if you wish,
rake over the old soils.
Crops stunted, with deaf and weaselly ears.
You can put the currants in your mouth
bitter, bitter.
Or, knowing the secret heart of the universe,
you can go to the #moonglade,
eat the silvered apples there.
Become drunk on resurrection.

shimmering stainless
pond lit by sliver of moon
weeping willow swoons

The #cathedral ripples in the #moonglade of the pond, a peaceful sway on calm night. A #bird skims the water and the #cathedral shimmers away. I look up and see only the quiet wood around me and shiver.

Thoughts alone
With the self
That is sitting
By the lake
Moonglade on
The water admired

Wondering who
Is the one thinking
About odd words
And natural phenomena

Suspected to be
An imaginary
Construct of
An entity
Once removed
And a body
In the employ
Of another
