Time marches….shuffling softly into the sunset…whispering at the arch of dawn...Lying in wait of the moon’s lingering tears that hum a solitary tune and share
The sway of wayward ghostly limbs…slowly budding as the moon’s light
Shares the sway of wayward limbs and stark silhouettes.

And,  perched upon a wooden pedestal….a solitary figure…allowing the
Sift of finest grains  to fall as fingers stir the pot and eyes absorb the stars of A cool cosmic
night….and the band….softly,...assuredly….plays on…

Yes...the band played on...
well done Barry.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.
