On the night of the recent Full Moon, with Lily by my side I walked down to the flowing
river to view the Moon and saw her throw golden pearls upon the river’s face, creating a
pathway for her as a stairway from Heaven,
She stepped forth wearing dainty shoes and hovered upon the surface
but alas, I could not reach her as I stretched out a welcoming hand but she slipped away
from me like melting cheese,
I did try to climb an invisible ladder and for three brief seconds, I hovered
Neither between land and sea, a tiny wave in a sea of consciousness
Just me, the land and the river
