Wizard of Dreams

is that truly you 
	knocking on my  door
	arriving one stroke  past midnight
	one dreamer seeking another
	chasing the clouds in a cloudless sky
	riding a flying carpet
	with no horizon in sight

	is that truly me
	playing out the game
	of lover’s chance
	waiting for the curtain call 	
	my audience has arrived
	the wizard of  dreams 
	in the seat of wishful thinking

	is that truly us 
	are we just strangers
	standing at destiny’s edge
	witnessing two lives come and go
	each and all simply waiting 
	for the crystal ball of chance 
	to arrive unbroken

	is this all there is
	were we both  expecting
	there would be more 
	the swan and the song perhaps
	to fulfill all expectations
	challenging the dreamer in our souls 
	to a dual of lover’s risk
                                     …..truly
