with apologies to Mr. Shakespeare (a cycle of nine haiku)

yearning chants your name
breathless dusk waits motionless
the wild loon beckons.
====
dusky outlines blur
darkness merges everything
mystery enfolds.
====
ancient light travels
form born in frozen distance
starlight awakens.
====
patterns enlighten
owls profess ancient wisdom
magic approaches.
====
trees part for meadows
fireflies flitter and sparkle
mirth lifts every heart.
====
gathered fire kindles
revelers spin in circles
loving hands entwine.
====
transfixing embers
sleep encounters one by one
moonshine glances back.
====
visions submerge all
fairies play their horns and flutes
deer dance secret rites.
====
vanishing matter
spirits melted into air
midsummer night's dream.
