As a Butterfly...

As a Butterfly...

As I step out to consider the night
The whisper of a breeze, warm on my skin
The scent of Jasmine drifts to me
Sweet and pure as a caress

My thoughts are of you as I stroll cross the way
My eyes stray to the stars and I remember a day
Clear night and muted, the traffic is gone
Past midnite theres barely a sound

The aloneness is familiar
There is strength in this feeling
No end to the timeless thoughts
Yet there is a remembrance

Lights from a plane flicker above
I hope that I'll get there, I hope so, my love..
My glance is taken to a moonlit embrace
A slow unfelt tear tracks down my face...

A shuddering sigh overwhelms me just then
Recalling myself to the present day
Slowly I turn from the stars and the moon
I step back to safety as to my cocoon..

Ah, the moon-lit nights that seem to inspire our thoughts of our loved ones far away~~~~ why is it not the arms of the one we love, finally come to join us in person that jolt us into the "present reality" instead of the dream embrace that gets us by until the waters no longer seperate our lives together?

Stay aware, keep the dreams alive... he'll arrive and make the dream a reality. What a fantastic write!!

A slow unfelt tear tracks down my face...

Oh, but I believe it is felt...deeply.
Very beautifully and poetically written.
I like this piece very much.

Beautiful. I actually got a little misty. I look at the stars and think of you too. (I'm going to deny I got misty if you ask:P) I'm looking forward to being on the beach with you and looking up at the stars.
