Gregg Heathcote

Clouded Night

A hoary head
From which floats words
Like stepping stones on misty waters

A tree amidst the waters
From which light fruits electric
Up the course of effulgent wood

Breezy expectancy
High in those floodlit branches
Tracing an open window

Quiet is the visitor
Reminding the sleeping world
Of the dream indeed it is
