In the Fragility of Dreams

When moonbeams touch the velvet sky, On silken threads I weave my dreams Which seem to float as a butterfly On gentle wings with colorful themes Then she falls into my illusive realm Gently as a snowflake from above She melts in song of requiem On the notes of dying love A fragile silence lingers now Framed in hues of black and white Yet a note is heard somehow, Rising, like a Phoenix in the night As delicate as the song of the heart Tenuous in all its schemes Which weave the tender course I chart, In the fragility of dreams. 5-18-2020
