Description
within the confines
of deepest dreams
where shadows dance
as they once had
dispelling beams of light
within
the eclipse of
subtle candlelight.
i see you there,
your eyes reflecting
the flame that sits
upon a wick
one i thought
might have
surrendered life
when darkness
suffocated it

abandoned
the caretaker
left his station
yet there it is,
a conflagration
where once there was
an ember
there is life
where once i thought
there might be
death
oh blessed hope
that takes up
residence
within the room
once shrouded
by empty dreams
and stilled promises
the quiet crypt of
days since passed

i see it there
lost in the gaze
of one i loved
then lost
then loved
a shadow that had
haunted me
with recollections
of my past
i see it there
lost in the smile
of one i kept
released
and hold
a lover who had
slipped away
like sand
inside an
hourglass

i see it there
in you
a second chance
with hope that
springs eternal
once again
within a room
where darkness bound
our hearts
and souls
where shifting twilight
with its
sullen lullaby
lulled us to sleep
where the largest,
smallest
gift of love
that simple,
complicated
concept
closed its eyes
in deep repose
and drove the dreamers
far apart

but nothing could
hold back the dawn
the peace that
follows night
darkness
surrenders its
dominion
against the
sovereign hand of morn
and dreamers dream
in jubilation
now that the shadows
on the wall
which once symbolized
a spectre
have taken form
for all to see.
the dancers,
more than silhouettes
the dreamers awaken
from their sleep
they now become
a man and woman
locked in each other's
grip again

within the confines
of deepest dreams
where once i sat
there by myself
now i can see
you stand before me
and now i know
just what i see
i know the one
who left
the candlelight
turn to smoke
was foolish.
and now i know
that second chances
were never meant
for fools like me

but they come
anyway
but you came
anyway
more than a spectre
the gentle soul
who once
completed me
the light of passion
in your eyes
the warmth of summer
in your smile
and now i say,
the night be damned
i found my sunlight
once again
