Amaterasu whispered to the night
as a blue world spun under a full moon
a ballerina on a highwire
dancing to quantum music
her gilded box of paradox
in a tesseract dreamscape
a goddess is borne
secret sutras pour from jade eyes
as she dips her brush into the light
indigo tendrils climb to the stars
as she spills hope into a wishing well
she calls her wolf to her side
and scrys the depths of his eyes
horse nuzzles her hand
" it is time , we must go "
they gallop bareback through the storm
to the edge of humanity
her heart laced in the language of gods
she slips from her kimono
a brocade of glimmering Koi
and she curls into the moon
shimmering reflections upon a black sea
a butterfly in silk
a dove in rhythm
a living haiga
in a surreal world ~
