Night's Pirouette

Treasured images of you appear in dreams darkened theater as sleep hovers near the lids guarding the threshold where lashes meet; Another night of tumbling into the oasis of memory’s sand; side by side, hand in hand, re-exploring what had been. Remembrances breathing, once again, new life into each scene Falling, spinning, further drifting, into this dreamer’s dream Caressing breaths of sleep explore while still the stars are nigh until the night ends its pirouette and again we kiss good-bye ©Debra Squyres

It's amazing how they don't die in our dreams. You have written three beautifully introspective poems Debra. They have spoken to me like few others do. Peace. :)
