“Dark Radiance”

Each day getting clearer.

Each day more gets peeled away.

Each day another piece of armor falls.

Each day standing more upright.

Each day

breathing in

perfume of pine wind.

Each day

absorbing teachings 

into heart-mind

directly from the moon.

Even when she travels out of sight,

in the silent darkness 

there are teachings going on.
