A dream, a jolt, a flutter
and excitement starts to grow
deep inside and far below
my wish to turn away.

Upward like a sigh
passion rises high
and gently the touch of love
slides into my soul.

Expansion takes effect
instantly and quick
and spirits join as one
inside my very flesh.

And I awake aware
heaven isn’t bliss
when down on earth
the air is still
and love is fast asleep.

I move and realize
daylight has other plans
and I take with me a question,
“Am I too old for this
now on the eve
of my future life?”

But I ask of the air
hanging like a cloud
dark and deep, foreboding,
scared perhaps to know
in case the answer “no”
makes me lose control.

Daylight and the sun,
my replacement for true love,
and I think of all the many days
when it doesn’t shine.

I think and then I don’t
and daylight heralds in
the numbness of no love
until the setting sun
makes me think again!
