dusk arising

it was as if

 

It was as if i had wings
and to fly, this wonderous flight
through enchantment\'s
night forest of peaceful content,
lifted upon translucent double wings.

I see myself, as I, ..out of body,
follow this flight through wonderland
amid cool friendliness of majestic elders.
Whispering, encouraging, reassuring
a cool airy creation of serene peace.

         And now,
         aside a darkness of moon glazed lake
         my winged lover reaches, a momentary embrace,
         where a kiss of forever\'s promise dances upon our lips
         turning to a joyous smile, then gone! are her impish eyes
         and so teased by nymph agility I chase her delight,
         low across the glaze, to our isle of promise.

Turning now beneath a quilt
of softening comfort,
peace eases me again
into the depths of slumber.
The reassurance of passion
becalmed my beating wings.

         As jealously the forest waits.
