Keepsake

Keepsake

Ainon N.

I kneel on the edge of opal moon
And feel the sky float through my heart
I see our moments caught
In dewdrops on a callas lily
Fresh as in eagerness of a smile

Our moments of intimacy dance in a trance
Imprisoned in sedate shadow,
It will destroy
To make it come alive outside of us
Let me preserve you in the lyrical

Our moments of laughter turn inward
Caught in its own radiance
Discovers strange freedom beyond each
Imaginations soar on the wings of birdsongs
In you the bird, in you the song

Our moments of silence
Suspended on serenity of rainbow
Are the fierce hues
That refuses to strip its colors

Tonight bits of dream smile in my eyes!
