Saturday Morning

Dust hung swaying in shafts of light.

A book lay marked but closed;
piano and guitar slept, 
remembering their last melody...

Silence, she sang, and everywhere
stillness was dancing,
light footed like a lilting
wind she is.

Nothing moved in the room
except the fire,
and the fire in me.
