Phantom Ride

The silence of summer night surrounds me
bringing with it the promise of magic
A soft evening breeze filling my nostrils
with heady scent of earth, tree and sky

Standing in the trees beneath starlit sky
I gaze in awe at diamond filled heavens
A gasp and I catch my breath at beauty
so brilliant it lights the world around me

Upon a falling star my vision rests
as I’m inspired to breathe a silent wish
For a man who’s filled with all the passion
of this dream vision night to come to me

Within moments a sound that startles me
filling the silent velvet of the night
Skipping a heart beat I take a deep breath
and turn toward the sound growing closer

Out of darkness towards me rides a man
whose countenance is bathed in soft moonlight
Passion and desire shine from blazing eyes
that tell he’s the one to fulfill this tale

With gentle strength he lifts me before him
and holding me against his heart we ride
My heart beats with his as heat fills my veins
grateful for magic of a phantom ride

Startime
