Inhabited
we found the cave behind the waterfall
and stood and simply wondered at it all
the night was dark and we were
far from home'
you laughed and said
this place was for a gnome
we built a fire and shivered
in the glow
a fantasy ,a feeling
seemed to grow,
your eyes were just too bright
for me to trust,
I saw strange footprints
forming in the dust
A golden goblet
shimmered
o'er my head
a mist poured softly
blurring all you said
you leaned to touch
my lips with jaded hands
and I forgot tomorrow
and our plans.
I felt a jolt
to never be alone
the footprints in thedust
are now my own.
