Stillness Steals
"So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing."
- T. S. Eliot
In the stillness of the night,
when dreams float in the air,
faraway I see a light,
and it beckons me there;
I take a walk in my mind
to that dazzling bright place,
a love song plays in rewind,
as I enter that space;
It is an empty large hall,
with disco lights aglow,
in the middle standing tall,
my love does a tango;
Seeing me, he calls me near,
I join him on the floor,
with his deft hands, he does steer,
in happiness, I soar;
Together we swirl and twirl,
till the soft music ends,
he's my love and I'm his girl,
dancing, our love deepens;
In the stillness of the dawn,
when sunlight awakens,
my feet, they ache and I yawn,
my heartbeat, it quickens;
I realise that my dreams
have stolen me again,
I smile brightly at sunbeams,
there's nothing to complain.
