Three AM

You get old
And you think you're 
Not beautiful 
Anymore 
And you look outside
And you see ages of living 
And constancy
And the trees bloom such
An architecture
And the land rolls its
Sublime contours

And then you begin
To instruct yourself in 
A miasma of light 
And dust and mist 
It floods your heart
Into seeing 
Beyond sinew and pulse
Into the grace of infinite

Looking out my bedroom window
As I try to calm myself 
I see, yes, there is always 
Moon in some part of the sky
And the map of the great dome
Is there for the taking

And no point at all to be old.
In this life, it does not matter.
I am that moon
That sun. 
Those stars. 
That sky.
We are.
We were.
We always will be
Until none of this is 
Anymore.
