Night's Pirouette
Treasured images of you appear
in dreams darkened theater
as sleep hovers near the lids
guarding the threshold
where lashes meet;
Another night of tumbling
into the oasis of memory’s sand;
side by side, hand in hand,
re-exploring what had been.
Remembrances breathing, once again,
new life into each scene
Falling, spinning, further drifting,
into this dreamer’s dream
Caressing breaths of sleep explore
while still the stars are nigh
until the night ends its pirouette
and again we kiss good-bye
