THE MOONPOOL

-

It is a lazy, restful time

here in the forest glade.

The sun is departing, the stars arriving

and the trees are a darkening jade.

-

An air of buzzing, drowsing stillness

invades the meadow, lends weight to my head

as I settle down - bedroll, backpack

and strains of music are seemingly played.

-

A deep, cool, dark pool is here,

mirror clear, reflections of skies,

as peace fills my mind, my soul

and sleep gently touches my eyes.

-

I know not whether I was awake, or in dream

or how much time had passed,

when I felt the magic of this place

camped there, upon the grass.

-

No sounds - no crickets? (The Music!)

As the Moon awakens the pool, so bright.

Why this anticipation, premonition,

this magical feeling, this ghost haunted night?

-

Then, a siamese cat enters the meadow-

silver grey, regal compusure, flowing lines.

And somehow I know - I see intelligence

and wit, and power, as she looks into my eyes.

-

How does she speak without speaking?

But somehow, she communicates good will, and cheer.

'Stay quiet, childe of man.', she says.

'Be still - you are but a guest here.'
