Starlight

Roar of morning traffic on Stone Way
working western world rouses
tasks of building maintaining feeding
sounds movements unknown to the Ancients
my world not the same as theirs.

Tonight's half moon graces the southern sky
hovering above Seattle skyline
undisturbed by our doings here.
I am alone on this rooftop garden
alone with my thoughts and cell(s).

There is nothing more than this
sitting here half moon floating there
together in this summer tableau
painted by a master long silent
whose brushes have been put away for good.

Each artist is the same
creating works from palatte and genius
inspired by such muses as may call
step back admire step away.
Muses are many patiently waiting.

What muse must the Creator have heard
saying, make a tiny bit of nothing
a star perhaps a cosmos a world
pencil in creatures large and small
city glistening beneath the star's evening light.
