Perfect Ending

Up in the sky tonight

my eyes saw the flickering star

it captured the very essence

of my soul

brought reflections

of long ago

when beckoning

was a heartful sound

and reckoning

was a day

awaiting come around



Time passages

seem to allow

that today

will be a different day

that decadence

will come my way

and the moment

will shadow my dreams

with remembrance

of a futured past



Quiet fall nights

somehow seem

not quite right

fitful dream

of awakening

pass' the time

away with

nary a word



The shadows

they dance

one on one

each step in time

to songs undone

two stepping

the future

while waltzing

the past

quiet sighs

bring about

perfect ending
