Night-wandering
these Oregon mountains
intoxicates my spirit
nature’s beauty
stretching beyond eye’s reach
moonlight drifts down
dreamlike
setting aglow
the forest’s canopy
silver’d
beams streaming through
there you can see a very small patch
of dark blue, framed by a little branch,
pinned up by a naughty star”
a sky of naughty stars
dance diamond-like
on mirroring lakes
serene and sacred
this magical realm
my soul swoons
