It's Morning Now

It's morning now . . .      the sun has brought the day The night has pushed away . . .no longer your touches      drape across my vestige      flutters of fortitude      only a memory      in the shaft of old My smile lingers . . .      as the dew glistens      the songbirds listen      and I'm still swept away Your nighttime Melody       echos in fourths       whispering       sweet nothings-       that mean something To wander back in deep       telling secrets we will keep       curious fingers-       finding their way in the dark Searching high and low       tempting rivers as they flow . . . and tomorrows        we don't know
