These white muslin curtains
flutter at night
Sight new visions in their folds of gauze
Pause at the altar, and erupt in flight.
White flights of this
fantasy, uplift and delight
Meet these dream-hungry eyes that lie awake at night!
Their bright silver threads
weave panels of light
Write in their wefts a sonnet for love
And above the stars, a whisper soars tonight.
White whisper of timeless
beauty, skim and alight
On these listening ears in the dark of the night!
