full moon light

The moon shining bright
even down the dark alleys
as someone wise once said
"life is what happens while you're doing other things"

tired day, is it fear?
thinking I'm responsible
for the unthinking universe
the fragrance of yellow ginger

no words can express
what words must express
the emptiness, the fullness
every wordless feeling

for today I'm human
I'm sad and I rejoice
at the amazing world around me
at all the gifts I've been given
