I blink my consciousness into the light your chestnut eyes still dancing in my mind surprised that you have stolen one more night to haunt my dreams, despite the years behind your lilting voice and golden tresses, rare are near four decades gone from my extent and yet you still pervade that dreamy lair with tender reveries that won't relent thru circumstance we slowly went our ways so closure never showed its ashen face thus thru my night meanderings you gaze to torture me with wisps of your embrace still, in the light of day I've come to see ... the beauty of this timeless ... mystery. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "Beautiful mystery" Poetry Contest, John Hamilton, Judge & Sponsor.
