<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
DANCING WITH MIDNIGHT’S MUSE<\/font><\/em><\/font><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another moonless night,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
loud silence interrupting<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
thoughts and emotions<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
streaking across darkened<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
nighttime skies and beyond,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
sleep and moonlight dreams<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
elusive once again,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
questions, doubts<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
once again uninvited <\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
yet breaking through<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
cracks once thought<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
impenetrable,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
tightly sealed.<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

\nAnd I find myself once again<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
reaching into the darkness<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
for those words that sometimes<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
dance across the stage<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
at midnight’s hour <\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
just as the music, <\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
once silent,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
finally begins to play,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
melodies loud and soft,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
cadences at once<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
jolting and soothing<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
as they begin to <\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
awaken my heart.<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

\nAnd as they begin to dance<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
across the darkened stage,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
my thoughts finally<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
surrender to the night,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
on that stage where<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
nighttime dreams <\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and fantasies of day<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
rendezvous at midnight’s hour<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and lead me along <\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
in their dance,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
words and emotions<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
released for a time,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
thought within thought,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
layered concentricities,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
fragile transparencies,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
heart songs released<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and lifted upon a breath,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
sweet sleep finally leading<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
my faltering steps<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
toward sunrise and a new day,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
as, joining with them,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
I dance toward the light,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
hand in hand with <\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
Midnight’s Muse.<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
