A Night on Queen Anne

The water shifts and shimmers
….. a glinting promise
of treasure that flirts
….. where water meets sky.
The steady breeze goes straight for the soul—
….. Stand straighter, think higher.
….. Dream what is real and find what is true.
The stars brush my head and cheek and heart
….. and surround me and smile
….. with a twinkle of the eye.
The moon, he dances, round gossamer clouds,
….. first in and then out
….. round the frail debutantes
Here is my family—brother moon, sister sky,
….. and tonight we are festive
………. —please, come, take a seat!
….. as we sing and we sing,
………. for we’re learning to fly.
