Silver Moon

​Someday, 
quite unexpectedly, 
out of the blue, 
someone will arrive 
holding
the silver moon. 
Someday, 
someone 
will unwind rivers, 
climb down a ladder 
from the sky, 
and unshake notes 
from a reluctant tune. 
Someday 
Someone 
will emerge 
from a seascape,
from the pages of 
a book, 
and you will not know 
when the threshold of night 
will disappear 
into insatiable 
afternoon . 
Someday 
Someone 
will bring stories 
wrapped in blue skies, 
and in the garb 
of a madman, 
within seconds, 
with an instinct 
for love, 
a miracle 
will be strewn. 
Someday 
Someone 
will hold the cosmos 
in his eye, 
new worlds will 
spill into you 
Someday 
Someone 
will become the 
custodian of your silence, 
keeper of your sanity 
and will melt 
the frozen waters, 
rather unexpectedly 
and quite soon. 
Someday 
Someone 
will create a havoc 
and take you by surprise
like a southern storm 
and in that smoky silence 
someday 
someone 
will rise like 
the silver moon 
rather unexpectedly 
and quite soon.
