Sitting in silent reverie; I am enraptured

existing in harmony with the stars above.

Quietly, I wander through the open courtyard

puzzled by the flight of a winging dove.

I dreamt last night of holding you forever

partaking of the fragrance of your love for me

divining the manner of your heartbeat; I yearn

to love you on the distant sea.

You came to me through a soft, white fog

a veil before not pierced; to find yourself.

Solemn in the solitude of the path,

you approach this love with cautious stealth.

Carry my love deep within you

harken to its enticing constant call

prepare for time persistency

and watch the worn stars fall.

This love I’ve found within your eyes

is something I thought could never be

to handle all my failures with patience

of the lonely; calm, still sea.
