**This poem was written for me by a very good friend of mine from Las Vegas. I hope she understands how much I appreciate this, and her**

LIGHT

the light pours through me
across this digital wall
to dance across your waiting face and neck
and finger tips
like a breeze....
that lifts the waves of your hair

you are a demon voice hiding in the walls
that only I can hear...
I wade through the shallow waters on my life
until the darkness falls
and I am sure that your spirit will be waiting for me...

I sit in the corner of the room and wait for the ghost to speak because this demon will listen
and no one else has...

He comes on the wings of two black coal crows
that return before first light to soar him home...
He absorbs my light... to feed on later
and leaves me full of dancing, spinning,
drumming shadows...
shadows are hard to hold.
