Begin Again

(for AGW)

The story
begins
with the moon, and
a drop of water,
and a spark.

The moon like a silver
eyelash on the
dusky cheek of the sky.

The droplet could
be a tear.
Or a raindrop.

The spark glows,
its light shimmers
against the drop.

They daren't touch.

Would the spark be put out
with a small hiss
a curl of smoke?

Would the droplet of water
dissipate in a passionate
puff
of steam?

But the drop
rolls liquidly toward the
spark...

And the sliver of fire
drifts dartingly
toward the water...

And each dream of becoming
something
beyond steam or smoke
as the pale new moon
shines down.
