Circular Motion

circular motion

winter sky
heaven's eye

midnight shadows
on december snowscape

earth breathes a gentle rhythm
hushed
by the momentary song
of an oak
in the
northern wind


the perfect balance never before so clear


the pair slowly sways
faces turned toward lunar rays

in delicate meditation

they are but infants
yet know the sigh of ancient wisdom

by the sea of night they stand

eternally poised
ever flowing

possessed

by the calculated movement
of the tides
