Is It

In dark shadows I see a fleeting glimpse, A girl with long blonde hair and eyes of blue, I glance again and she is gone from sight, And I wonder if, if that girl is you. Is it the girl, who claimed my heart as hers, One winter’s day while dancing through the town? The girl who showed me the meaning of love While making me smile by acting the clown. But I know it is mere wishes and dreams, My cold mind knows my love cannot be there, Now she dances with the moon and the stars, As the gods hold her safely in their care. Some days I feel so alone without you, Without the love that held me close each night, So I look into the shadows again To see that smile and know all will be right. Form: Sicilian Quatrains
