Silken slippers whisper over slick stones.
Muffled musical murmurs fade
along cloaked corridors.
Sunlight sifts through screened windows,
Languorous liquid lakes beckon
with shimmering sweetsmelling steam.
Secrets never shared nor shown slip
through silent shadows on
spirit tongues,

Lindsey Milton 1994
