equilibrium
with since darkened
shimmering radiance
ebbing heavenward
(til morning’s reversal)
blend chanted aves
vigil resonant embrace
and release
murmuring sigh of palms
their clandestine caress
bespeaking benevolent
unharnessed dismissal
to the harried
heavy heat
of a thousand blind intentions
and rustling restless leaves
all too heavy
to bear but
borne graciously aloft
in borrowed vibrancy
for another evening
and morning
to come
