Lighthearted Night Conductor 

When the world sleeps
the forest playground
bursts into a spontaneous light show
spectacularly choreographed
to the orchestrated throngs of
trilling frogs and chirping crickets

twinkling starlight
flitting fairies
dancing fireflies
all flash on cue,
great great great grandfather oak’s
night-cloaked branches
conducting
a dot-to-dot blueprint
of lighthearted night spirits at play
his face unable to hide his
full-moon laughter
