On This Tranquil Night

On this tranquil night

I imagine you and me,

Rekindling tender memories

Of how it used to be --



Some say the past

Is an illusion,

That the only reality

Is the here and now --



But what is here and now

If not a reliving of things

Long gone and anticipating

Things to come?



Life is an interplay

Of perceptions and illusions,

Of things that we see

And the things we imagine --



And I imagine you as beautiful

As ever and your gentle

Touch upon my skin,

My love,



While we get lost in the

Music of the senses,

Where the past, present

And future all merge

Into one,



Where we are free to love

And to begin again.
