Timeless
Night
I remembered when I walked
out into the timeless night
and felt the air of mauve twilight
changing, my flashlight
became a beacon to scan
the civilization of the stars.
There I would direct my path
beyond the green genius of the garden
up to the trees whose large leaves turned
fluorescent
and farther, outward, beyond the clouds.
The child in me still shines
beyond the cavern of this moment.
