I approach you at the window
And slowly close the blinds
I tell you not to view the world
without an open mind
I place my hand upon your shoulder
And request you close your eyes
I hand to you my shoes
And you try them on for size
I open up the curtains
Your eyes focus with a blink
Seeing things as I would
You don't know what to think
The sun begins to set
To you, it's poetry
You find each color is a stanza
Just as it is to me
You gaze in false entrapment
Paralyzed deep in thought
As the ever changing beauty
Displays all you've ever sought
You dream of love and tenderness
As the night begins to call
The first bright star begins to shine
And you beg it not to fall
You join your hands and make a wish
Proclaiming "Star light, star bright..."
I wish as well, you'll understand
What I'm trying to show you tonight
You close the curtains in emptiness
As the sun descends beyond our view
You pause for a moment before turning around
To return my dreamers shoes
By the look in your eyes, I know we shared
The same feelings, dreams, and awe
And, somehow, I feel you know me better
For all we felt and saw
You understand how I feel my poetry
And how I dream and fantasize
For, my feelings dwelt within your heart
And my sight lingered in your eyes
We stand together in silent speech
Not quite sure what's left to say
Our feelings vivid like the sunset
Creating a beautiful array
