Ships at Night

Amidst the darkness I see
One, cloaked in mist
That beckons me not to return
To the black shores
Where I have dwelt
But to stay
For a moment
And look upon the light anew
Captured in blazing eyes
That we may see the light of day
The twilight toward the morning calling.

How is it that you wander here?
Your pools reflect depths
I have never known.
Perchance to meet and share
Secrets never told.
The dew-soaked forest air
Permeates the silence
As we gaze at one another
And hope to share
Adventures on paths unseen --
When twilight meet dusk
We melt away,
Knowing all has been a Dream.
