Reassurance

They come slowly Daring to make a sound Not knowing what they'll find They pay a special mind Winding wisps of whispers Dashing all around Unsure of what they've found Materializing white as snow Luminous and subtle With long dresses flowing and halos lightly glowing Sweet and soft serenity I find myself praying please don't go As they softly tip-toe Looking up at the stars Gently placed in the sky A sailing ship guided by the moon Silently hoping it doesn't fade too soon Daring dauntlessly to dream With darkness closing in Calm nostalgia, and what could have been Holding my gaze a distant stare They found their way around my soul Whispering temptation in my ear Knowing time is drawing near Like finding fragile flowers Along a distant shoreline They are truly mine
