Mornings Of Gold

Put away such childish notions

Magic is just for the babes

And yet I still believe

In Him

Stirring emotions

Within me

Darkness invades my mind

...and there...

I am certain I see him

In the shadows

I feel him

His heartbeat

One last dance

In the soft moonlight

I am not ready for him to leave

He tells me it is not a choice

That it is time

He kisses me once and whispers

That his love will remain always between the stars

And then I am back

The Underground is no more

The air is bitter cold

It was just a dream...

But in the quiet unknown to me

Perched on a branch high above

A strange owl

A single silhouette under the moonlight

He keeps a faithful vigil

For his love
