On water smooth as glass sentinels stand on mirrored floors as they float on life's illusion.

leaning over the jagged edge of life
early morning light respite
every frightening fear takes flight
another dance another rite
never dark and not so bright
neither sun or pale moonlight
every day and every night
merging lives with mystic might
arrant sounds consistent sight
yielding bodies tangling heights
erotic nature not in sight
ring of raging love tonight
