Sleep sweetly there beside me In pre-dawn's lurid light A shaft that swirls with galaxies Too complex for my sight Motionless, I danced there In syncopated time Twisting to each heartbeat His silent, pulsing shine. Perfection; silent symphony Each lulling breath, a croon Rose petal lips parted in twain Would whisper secrets soon Sienna lashes shrouded Emerald youthful spheres that Sent me off to mountain sides Lush soil, pure and real. I loved the slumbering forest In warmth, in frost and rain And in each silent morning I yearn To whirl for him again. Original, un-rhymed notes When he slept I, motionless, Danced In the shaft of light with the dust motes Feeling each heart beat a syncopation for a wordless song a symphony made more perfect By the lull of air from his rose petal lips Sienna eyelashes hiding Replenishing fountains of youth. He had me thinking of the mountains, Of the earth, of the rich soil Of all things still and pure and beautiful.

Motionless (The Dance)
Sleep sweetly there beside me In pre-dawn's lurid light A shaft that swirls with galaxies Too complex for my sight Motionless, I danced there In syncopated time Twisting to each heartbeat His silent, pulsing shine. Perfection; silent symphony Each lulling breath, a croon Rose petal lips parted in twain Would whisper secrets soon Sienna lashes shrouded Emerald youthful spheres that Sent me off to mountain sides Lush soil, pure and real. I loved the slumbering forest In warmth, in frost and rain And in each silent morning I yearn To whirl for him again. Original, un-rhymed notes When he slept I, motionless, Danced In the shaft of light with the dust motes Feeling each heart beat a syncopation for a wordless song a symphony made more perfect By the lull of air from his rose petal lips Sienna eyelashes hiding Replenishing fountains of youth. He had me thinking of the mountains, Of the earth, of the rich soil Of all things still and pure and beautiful.
