The camera smiled into the sun
above a lake that seemed asleep.
brisk shoulders shuttered,
shrugging of contrite sighs,
propping lens gasped of frost,
closer to voyeuristic eyes
callously, primped orange breaths stilled,
then slowly dulled,
baptized by renegade ripple,
heaven's beacon braced then lulled
heart weeped,
as saline waste by the thimble full upon arid ground,
box kites sail edge of serenity,
then a calm... as the sun touched down
waist high in tide, blue the ocean,
surrounded by green the forest,
an oil painting, the scents seduced the loneliness,
I exhale from Eden's chest
raptured in catatonic state,
behold, the moon whispers lullabies,
wooing love's birds peeping from branches,
enchantment in their eyes
breath be still!
tranced I became, as beaks bugled odes of love,
dolphins mimicked child,
jetting in silver caress of moon above
sanctuary has found company,
as I rest beside viper charmed,
who is it... that's able to resist,
wonders wielding storms,
moving seas without utterance or touch...
be that a mystery,
jest springs from mind,
pardoned, I exhale... and fall asleep
