I want to paint the world silver
 
Silver as the moon paints the world
as it grows in the sky,
dark shadows dancing side by side
with the silver branches of the trees
adorned with tear drop jewels.
 
Silver as the smooth curves
of the pewter handle on the candlestick,
lighting up the darkness
in the deepest hours of the night,
soothing sleepless eyes
into a sea of dreams.
 
Silver as the feathers
on the wings of Muscovy’s,
stretched out to receive
the warmth of the first rays
of sunlight at dawn.
 
Silver as the dangling key to my heart,
expanding with love
as I witness the grace and magic of a world
anchored in kindness and peace
for every living being on this plane.
