Only the Universe
 
      of course
           I imagine Venus
                 tenderly cradled
                       in the soft curve
                               of the crescent moon

yes, the stars jostle among
         each other for the perfect position

                twinkling is a serious endeavor
                               when a wink need be implied
 
but let's get down to business
                  clouds form
                           and a chariot
                                 being pulled
                                 by white stallions
                                 is the order
                                 of the moment

                                       maybe a dramatic bolt or two
                                       heralding my impending arrival

                               are you watching?
                                      taking this all in?
 
                     be ready to shield your eyes, dear
                                as the universe is torn
                                        and a chorus of beings
                                              sings a song
                                              each note delivered
                                              on a beam of light
                                              assigned its own colour

                     they swirl in serpentine
                                  around you 
bathedinlight
 
                          I sigh as you yawn and
                                            drift off to sleep
 
             you're dreaming of me
                              aren't you?
