Only The Music


Moon shadows danced a partnerless waltz As the sun lay asleep in its cave Sashaying in place to flirt in the night Spinning and twirling alone on parade To dance until morning when light will emerge And usher them into the past Where time beats a cadence its metronome wound With only the music — to last (Dreamsleep: October, 2026)

I like this. There is a little dissonance for me with the idea of the sun inhabiting a cave for any amount of time.
