Set one of the stage opens to show
a table for two prepared near the door.  
Fairy lights dazzle and sparkle with hues
dancing and glowing up to the moon.  

Reflections in water of love’s precious dew
surround the table covered in blue
and the music that plays whispers a tune
of heaven’s own bliss that’s come none too soon.

Locked hand in hand a couple emerge,
he walking proud with graying of hair,
she passed her prime and showing the signs,
they dance until chimes of midnight resound.  

The glow from the fire inside of the door
promises comfort for love’s early dawn
but the call of the wild can be seen in her eyes
as she leads him away to the fields and the sky.

On a blanket laid out in nature’s own way
passion awakes from living as dead
and stars hide their eyes behind soft wispy clouds
as naked and proud they offer themselves.  

He kisses her fully joining their lips
as hands slowly travel down to her hips
and the essence of her releases to him
the truth of her being so different from his.  

The wind brushes bodies with unspoken pleas
sending out messages coded yet clear
and the pleasure they give returns to their souls
as heaven smiles down the blessing of love.  

Scene two opens now with return to their homes
as sun touches bodies still warm with own glows
but the fire has burnt to ashes of cold
and the stage slowly turns as they enter the door.  

Two beds far apart and divided by “life”
await their return without any warmth
and as the sun rises they each can be found …
smiling in sleep for the night took their souls!

Hi, Dreamer Jo!     Dreams are the saviours of soul because otherwise we wouldn't know.

Love's Awakening... Yep, for sure!  This is quite beautiful, even if the aging process isn't!
