MY LOVE I'm thinking of you
it's growing dark outside as the sun is pulling its color away from Earth
slowly, cautiously,silently
I can smell the Earth scents, still warm in the air
leaves and grasses, living and dead flowers fragrances from some nearby place,all these odors and many others
of cooking and flowers mingled and mixed into a indefinable potpourri
by the cool and welcomed breeze that dares to rustle the leaves and break the hush
somehow, its my favorite hour of the day, twilight
it has a haunting quality as all things pause and grow still
while the departing daylight silences their colors
old lives and new ones. the honored,the thief, rich man, poor man,beggar man,-all caught up in the stillnesof time,waiting,wondering, listening.
perhaps the Earth too will stop and the seas spin and might never be another dawn for us beyond this night
I wish I knew what thoughts you held concerning me
I only know that you must let time remember our love
the currents of which run deep
as I behold your face in the reflecting pool of my dreams
and now in prayerlike silence
I thank you for setting me free from yesterdays lonliness
I wait here for you to walk softly into my waiting arms
as you enter softly in to my presence
