The Nightscape Stage

While in my tossed and troubled sleep

the realm of my sour dreamscape cast

see you there beneath hallowed moon

with tear-cast eyes and humbled soul

you walk your chosen path of solitude

Alone in the wings of humanity’s stage

breath held I await the director’s cue

you deliver your part with passion’s due

heart a prisoner of love under your spell

to meet mid-stage at final curtain call

The sunrise to be our stage lights rising

house applause to be our love’s sweet voice

from the darkness we shall emerge in light

and together take our final bows….
