2080. JUST OUTSIDE OF EL DORADO

JUST OUTSIDE OF EL DORADO
The Moon is at my level side, best in the sky,
and partnered in the dawn today with a planet
I really do not know. Morning star, one of those
things. They ride the sky together, in tandem.
-
The morning light breaks, across the water, and
geese are standing at idle, looking so much at
nothing as anything at all. Still too dark or dim
to really see anything; shadows and the weaving
glimmer of light on a rippling surface.
-
It's like this when I want to stay in place.
This summation of the best of times could
only be right now and right here. I try
to listen, but there's nothing to hear.
Goodness is always silent.
