DANCING WITH MIDNIGHT’S MUSE
Another moonless night,
loud silence interrupting
thoughts and emotions
streaking across darkened
nighttime skies and beyond,
sleep and moonlight dreams
elusive once again,
questions, doubts
once again uninvited
yet breaking through
cracks once thought
impenetrable,
tightly sealed.
And I find myself once again
reaching into the darkness
for those words that sometimes
dance across the stage
at midnight’s hour
just as the music,
once silent,
finally begins to play,
melodies loud and soft,
cadences at once
jolting and soothing
as they begin to
awaken my heart.
And as they begin to dance
across the darkened stage,
my thoughts finally
surrender to the night,
on that stage where
nighttime dreams
and fantasies of day
rendezvous at midnight’s hour
and lead me along
in their dance,
words and emotions
released for a time,
thought within thought,
layered concentricities,
fragile transparencies,
heart songs released
and lifted upon a breath,
sweet sleep finally leading
my faltering steps
toward sunrise and a new day,
as, joining with them,
I dance toward the light,
hand in hand with
Midnight’s Muse.
