SEARCHING
The frost of this evening
arranges lacy ice crystals
against the window in my room.
The moonlight casts soft shadows
as I, half-asleep, drift off to
music playing on my stereo.
I see my escape as my body
becomes smaller and smaller,
and my soul slowly drifts aloft.
I'm a midnight traveler
moving somewhere across dreams,
or is it space & time?
Reaching for an answer that
rests beyond the horizon, yet
is much closer than vision allows.
DISCOVERING
I spot you in an inviting
glade surrounded by a
forest of church spires.
I find your golden body
glowing in rays of sunlight,
lips softly parted.
You lie in sweet smelling thyme,
stretching long limbs, flexing
sleek muscles.
Nature becomes you in sleep
as a soft breeze sweeps
through your bronze hair.
You stir ever so slightly as
my soul slowly nestles into
your arms.
