Thief of Stars
Stealthily they disappear,
One by one the stars are taken.
Every night I watch more closely
As the firmament is shaken
Out of stoic contemplation
And the star signs hide away.
Ever darker the horizon
Ever brighter on the sill,
Through the fastened shutters streaking,
Ever paling starlight creeping,
For the dreamless watcher reaching,
To seek me out, and take me in.
Outside I find not a light in the skies
To show the way, to point me right.
Blinded, and confused, and shaken
I can’t believe in what I see:
You have stolen all the stars
To lay them at my feet.

Disposition
Look into a silent pool
And greet your smiling face.
Observe a critter seek repose,
Making the surface shiver.
The little traveller carries on,
Your watery reflection gone,
While, lingering, a smile awaits
The rippling waters
To settle back into
A laughing face.
