A moon-ray stole

A moon-ray stole
Through my window
Last night

Played by the little idol
On my altar
Curled into a smile
On my lips

All through the night
It played by my side
Keeping me adrift
Through dreams
The golden background
Of awareness

The moon through clouds
Conspiring with a wink
Hid time and again
But the moon-ray
Stayed by me

It giggled and hid
Among shadows
Peeked and lit my corner
With mischief and surprise

And as I drifted slowly
Into our dance
Gathered into glow
And settled on my lids
