Window Moon Poem by Barry Middleton

Window Moon

Rating: 4.6


the window moon is bright
the muted world is still
and there is peace within
but night has brought a chill

beyond the glow the stars
are trembling in their place
to cause a doleful dream
that I cannot erase

for past the stars is night
the void in velvet black
the dream will take me there
beyond the lighted track

and there I choose to stay
where peace and grace abide
in dark infinity
where wisdom cannot hide

Your dream taking you beyond the lighted track is subconsciously attaining nirvana but you have called that a dark infinity hiding wisdom baffles me.

We do not really know what Nirvana is. It lies in darkness beyond our knowledge. The wisdom of God is hidden if it does exist. The poem is intended to intrigue both the theist and the atheist.
