Between Encounters
(a special moment)
Half alseep, I penned,
"I've gone to bed,
the lights are out,
My eyes are closed,
I'm waiting for sleep to come,
I think of you and smile."
that became
"My room is dark,
I've gone to bed.
My eyes are closed,
What dreams ahead?
I think of you and smile."
and finally –
The room is dark — I'm alone, in bed,
Sorting events that remain... unfiled.
My eyes are closed — what's just ahead?
You came to mind... and I smiled.
