Our LifeTimes sway Together

Our LifeTimes sway together.

a Candle dreams your eyes in muted light,

upon a glass of Rain, in a melted kaleidoscope Storm,

we meet Inside a secret place

a silent screen, silver draped,

a Soul touch. Flick! I weep.

The Chorus sees shadowy pinprick patterns,

dancing hopscotch children,

heathen pleasure - bathers' race in Summer's Golden Eyes;

I see us sway together.

You, arrayed in Elders' Mountain

while I cannot touch a Star; still, you hold me, a Moment;

You have deigned to dance with me,

a Soul too young; yours Old, Divine.

a Soul touch. Dark falls. I weep.

The Chorus sees diamondesque dances,

far-away constellations,

Poetry's velveteen Gifts at play in burning Summer's Sky 

Our LifeTimes sway together.

a Candle dreams your eyes in muted light,

your ancient Mountain arms hold me; Star- melded tempestuous Life!

Poetry Lovers in arabesque

silent screams, silverNight draped,

a Soul touch. Pfff! I weep.

to a Muse

I desperately yearn to walk with you,

altho I never held your eyes in mine

missed your face in my LifeTime...

I search the dark for your smile,

for your sage propheticWords 

Rich inside my ears aLive with your Music, your Magic;

he whose face I could not see

Your Soul has deigned to carry me

Thank you.
