in her quest for a gentle quiet side by the sea
she finds an ever melting pale moon light
showering her through a bed of floating cotton
is the caressing gentle rain of dreams and shadow
the delicate fingers of a future untold whispers over her face
dancing with her hair to the symphony of life
her silent gaze matched only by the stars
twinkle with crystalline pure elegance piercing the night
to these patrons flow from her the tide of a saline kiss
rich within each sacred tear lie the dreams of a lonely wish
the elemental silence broken only by her shimmering jewels
as they fall to the ground one by one unheld by warm hands
though cast silent and unknown a spell of dreams to her plight
endowed she is from the angels that call to her with a single wish
to ever so slowly, so gently, press upon her lips,
a single, soft, genuine goodnight kiss.
