Goodnight my sweet song

goodnight my sweet song

it was heaven to sit so near

your beauty and your grace

as the tunes were played

and the sacred praises recited

and offered to the distant gods

but your voice was the psalm

that i listened for and heard

rising and falling, as the sea, as

a wind that comes at midnight, or

some far away song in the forest

that tells me a tale of longing

and awakens me with a dream

of strategies and desires

and paw prints in black

left on my windowsill
