GO SOFTLY

Go softly among your stars

for tonight we are together.

Trip lightly across the Milky Way,

spilling your glittering laughter

as would a child,

delighted by joyful

Raindrops falling to the waiting

Earth -

lost in the mists that surround us

here in the Timeless Moment.

Again! I draw my breath

in wonderment,

across the sky in cloud-patterns.

Finding each other anew,

here we are on the Eternal Way!

Go softly among your stars

for tonight we are together ...

c.1984
