Solitary Sojourn

The reverent hush of falling shadows Softly caress the heart of evening. I, in solitude walk away from the day To stroll the carefree wonder of night; Footsteps becoming immortal to the dew And the night-bird’s dusky call lingering Just above the lily’s drowsy heads. In moments of silence I hear your voice Like yesterday’s memories Calling across time and distance; Running rampant over my soul In waves of love and yearning. All the mystery of the night The shy starlight; the brazen moon, Summon courage to assail my senses In bold and subtle ways of endearment. My solitary sojourn is not lonely Through this misty dreamscape – The light of your love guides me Like a brilliant lantern through time - Always just before me, shimmering, Alive with your undying devotion Vibrant in the solitude of timelessness Echoing with the soft whispers of your voice. Be ever near me; your gentle hand in mine; The sweetness of this night cannot contain The breath of my love flowing heavenward.
