Dancing Shadows

Light dances with shadow
Like bellsong 'cross meadow
Reflections are memories
Refracted into vagaries
Once it was seen, now not
Magic, or so it's thought
Enveloping and enlightning
Clarification is frightening
As rose coloured covers
Are removed from eyes of lovers
And an understanding dawns
As waking body yawns
That this is no fantasy
And here lies reality
With love's light a'gleam
From eyes of raised esteem
That smile into your own
reflecting that love shown
By your now open vision
Realising in instant decision
That although still friends
Now the relationship extends
Accross the boundary of soul
Finally you now are both whole
The wait, the search is over
Your best friend is your lover
