Poem #1: "the pantheist"

the pantheist

the dark night

settles in, takes its time

and finds its place

within the mind, body

and spirit of

the natural world

stars sprinkle across the vast,

blue heavens like

confetti molecules in an endless sea of sky

their light piercing a thick

veil of darkness

as the

trees

whisper

"hello"

the moon is a flashlight

in how it makes its presence known

not a sight to be "foretold" for

it has always been there

guiding naive souls through

the darkness above to a place

among the stars, as the

cool breeze

animates nearby

plants in a gesture

of kindness

and as the observer watches

with wonder and awe, seeing

the cosmos in an elegant

dance to its own vibration

the gates of his heart open

to let in what is truly limited

only by perception
