Nothing More Than Moonlight

Nothing More Than Moonlight

To achieve fullness of being alive 
through tense serenity of nothingness, 
Godith hums wordless melody of angst 
in eerie tones of mist-enshrouded woods 
that wake ghosts of the dead from tombless graves 
while waulking woolen cloth with her bare feet. 

Engaged through spiritual apprenticeship 
in learning wordless songs of ancient stars, 
Godith gathers flowers from foggy glen 
where ravens name things that do not exist 
with sepulchral voice of aesthetic truth 
that seeks to purge the heart of artifice. 

This stone she holds in callused hand of faith 
is no revelation of hidden meaning 
beyond mind-expanding epiphany 
that glows with presence of the timeless hour 
when Godith wakes from suddenness of love 
with modern impulse to name everything. 

Through maximum expression of the self 
that contains multitudes of unnamed souls, 
and minimum conflation of the self 
dissolved in purity of aching song, 
Godith transcends both opposites to float 
along continuum of being awake. 

Annoyed that she must express ache of hope 
with human language in limiting words, 
Godith affirms force of assertive aim 
to name mindless things with word of insight 
that causes things to glow with cosmic mind 
so she creates her person with sly speech. 

As she approaches far vanishing point 
that separates immediate sense of self 
with timeless vibrancy of divine thought, 
Godith reduces singularity 
of our vast world to garden of her heart 
where things exist because she gives them names. 

Confined within conceptual walls of speech, 
where spirit of her brain frames with bold words 
elusive reference of ideal truth, 
Godith binds fluid memories of time 
with linear narrative for acts she plays 
as she performs her role in game of life. 

While gazing at moonlight shining through trees, 
Godith attempts to design metaphor 
relating peaceful glow of silent light 
to how her body feels with pulse of hope, 
but she decides with laughter of calm faith 
the moonlight is nothing more than moonlight.
