Your melody plays in perfect time
falling upon my heart
cradled in heavens arch
I listen as you pass
sensing your breath as it blows
fogging the frozen window in crystalline lace
where through my sleepy gaze
I sway like the draping branches
of the young willow pausing the ripples
flowing into spring’s promise
where again and back again
I glorify in your warmth
throwing shadows across my walls
through windows open you fall
washing in moonbeams
marking time with the tides
changing as leaves delicately paint
a rainbow upon the ground
where I am buried under your spell
as you cast me softly
into midnight’s song
While you remain
ageless, timeless
again and back again.
