***

in my candlelit room I am in a meditation and total withdrawal and I am travelling back, back, back in time with a sad sigh I know what comes next and I want to weep with love my dress a cloud of red chiffon flowing, flowing you whisper I love you and I turn the page back, back, I turn back the pages, pages we swirl twirling and dipping perfectly and my red chiffon dress is beautiful kiss me is your whisper as we dance your strong arms holding me tight we are spinning, spinning the music roaring loudly and you are fading our hands slipping then our fingertips and still we are spinning until you are gone and I am alone yet the music goes on and on and in my candlelit room, I take a deep breath . . .

A beautiful poem of love and longing. For a time we slip into a world of fancy and whimsical bliss. But soon the ephemera disappears and reality dawns, making us feel sad that we are left alone. Lovely and poignant dear Constance!
