Here is a Moon Song

peek the moon out top of the sky through the trees and over the barn

peek the future slipping into today like the sun over the far trees

peek the owl and the other night birds at moon, at sun, at scurrying beneath them

peek out from under the covers

peek to the end to know what’s coming

and here is the sun crossing the field, glad
