Night World
Don Hynes
By day the light upon water
is brilliant and bright
securing the outlines
of what is safe and real;
by night, shimmering on the water
the moon invites the eye to go deep,
everything trembling in this light
speaking through shadows;
if I had the courage
I’d live the night wonder
walking forest paths
with slivers of silver
breaking through the trees
at peace in the stillness
awake from my dreams.
