A Light Touch

So many phantom shapes
Fluff about the local space
I can barely sense them brushing 
Not hiding, just skimming existence 
Not in or out 

Among the growing shadows 
I recall music I've never heard
Reminding me of places I've never been 
Where I yearn to go back

This is the stuff of happiness 
It and I alone, together mingling.
