He came to me in a dream which I had often dreamt
and swept away the darkness of the night
Bid welcome
to the interlude
Stay a while
this place unfolds before the present can call it by name
though I know it as friendly and dear as any that came before or promises hence
this is familiar
comforting
and yet -- in truth I cannot claim its passage still in this life time
I have fallen here for love it seems
upon the stars each night I grant return to stay me just a while longer
and feel for what I might not take upon some other man
Sweet descending bliss
the rhythms of heavenly orbs
how they shift these tides and cast this time away the stormy night
that but the morrow’s tide will wash my dreams to other shores
I’ll fall myself to sleep this night
and call again your name
So brief a time now past without your tender touch I did but dream
You are the incarnate
as I
this is not my dream alone
you too close your eyes at night
and where we meet is this as body and soul enfolded not for our yearning to possess
but for our joy to set free so stay
stay and be lost to your world to partake in this
this place is unmoved
this time will become familiar
With every breath of morning’s air a dozen days relive their past
and sweet inhales of night’s cool touch will thousandfold inspire dreams
Bid welcome to the interlude
and in its time partake
Bid welcome to the INTERLUDE
