skyfarer

regent moon riding
through fields flung open wide
like a kingdom god intended
just for me to step inside

riches now a trifle
faint remembered care
in the warm wind's ruffle
by the light of a thousand stars

now saw i the universe
now felt i at peace
till i saw two lovers kissing
by the gateway to the fields

their faces drank the moonlight
their eyes outshone the stars
and waning in my heart i knew
the universe is theirs

i'll walk no more the night time
nor watch where two caress
a moment holding everything
a lifetime nothingness
