Lady of Night

Softly she enters in veils of white lace
Lightly she treads on the footprint of space
Slowly to pure crystal songs she will spin
And tap on your window of dreams to come in

Lift up your shades to the songs of the night
She fills your eyes with a dance of delight
One who awakens the sleep from your breast
Will give you new life as an honored bequest

Waiting to feel the exquisite soft kiss
She caresses your skin with a joy such a this
Let her come lightly to one who can slice
Into depths of her silver white curtain of ice

So cold to the one who has not seen the light
So warm to the heart this sweet lady of night
So lovely her slipper, so flowing her gown
She follows the ways of the sky and the ground

Open your window, the show has begun
The little stars silently fall one by one
She whispers to you as she touches your face
And treads, oh so lightly, in footsteps of grace

She is a lady of beauty and charm
She sweeps the pain from the chambers of harm
She brings delight to the place she is born
And spreads out her mantle of white in the morn

In all of my dreams there is nothing I know
That can equal the beauty of fresh fallen snow

Oh me either, nothing is like the twinkle it makes.  I wanted to put a beautiful snowglobe on here, but we have been asked to cut back on the graphics useage - so use your imagination okay?  Envision a snowglobe with a fairy in the snow, isn't she pretty? LOL.  Oh Liz, I am pulling your leg, on one of the prettiest poems you have done, forgive me, the devil got me!  I am trying to be so good too as Santa is coming to town.

I enjoyed these beautiful couplets. *s

Music, perfectly pitched,
Caresses the harshest curve.
