Dream-Like Silhouette

There is a mystic hint of endearment
In watching you through shadows ,
Like observing a diaphanous river
As it  meanders its way down the bend;
Past reeds and grasses on a foggy edge
To somewhere new  and therefore lightly seen.

The delicate, steady throb from your  glide
Moves through  cycles of my  lulled vision
Bringing respite from your otherworld's form
Sailing on  an air of unconsciousness
And pulling that filmy silhouette 
Down , down to a ripple of celestial dreams .

I relish  intangible thoughts about you
Flowing gently into me.   You drift quiet, still :
Those ethereal whispers bidding me closer
Like the rivulet which beckons 
Through your movement in it's veiled outline.

Your words flow so easily Nette that I almost see you existing in this world wonderfully dreamy and flowing peacefully. There were inspired writes, yours among them as always.

I looked for another word to describe this, Nette, but "Beautiful" it is and "Lovely," too. "I relish intangible thoughts about you flowing gently into me."
