Work your magic across the sky
Midnight Moon, pearlescent queen...

A mystic path winds through my mind
Of misty gold, its trees sublime...

Branches move and sadly sway
Their farewell to this long day...

Shahrazad, dancer of the night
Behind the purple lattice of Persian screens...

Fair Aurora,
Paints her sky with brush strokes of amethyst...

Golden lights shine in the distance
From my dreams, they summon me...

By tropical waters, she waits by the shore
Waits for a man who comes by no more...

I recall now the colored shells
Strewn cross the beach of Sanibel...

Our evening walks on haunted trails
Where lies a ghostly mystery...

You spent your last days in a hospital room
One month before your beating heart stopped...
