Moonlight Visits at Midnight
Windows, uncurtained,
allow the outside
access to my space
and the inner and
outer worlds coexist
peacefully most nights.
But this night, light,
like 1000 candles,
like the Ghost of
Christmas Present,
diffuse but bright,
bubbles across
the bathroom
and spills into
the bedroom
washing the marble
in cool silver
and turning the dark
into magic. The moon
pours its light
into my room
in a phosphorescent
rush and reminds
me there is such
a thing as love.

You evoke perfectly the special way moonlight plucks at the heartstrings, how that magical light in the dark connects inner and outer worlds physical and metaphysical, how that light that travels so far across space and time can bring faraway people together, how the elixir of moonlight is the distillation of pure love.
