Dawn

Silent moonlight ballet
Through dust streaked windows;
Tenuous steps
Across the cold kitchen tiles.

Starlight flickers, stammering,
Fading from azure-black skies;
Fragile celestial reflections
In clear, blue, tear-filled eyes

Flamenco dancing sunlight,
Slashed across heavens fading to cerulean-grey;
Confident strides
Etch their mark over warming kitchen floor.

Soft luminescence dissipating quietly
Stark glare cavorting with glee;
Fire reflected and captured
Within one solitary salt-water, crystal clear tear.

Eternal dance partners, infinite waltz
Lovers at war, a battle of light;
Never to meet while they vie for their time
A moment on the stage made of sky.
