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
