their dance
atop the mission range.
ever shifting,
ever changing,
in swirls of colors
like phantoms
in the night.
reaching farther
and farther,
as if to capture
the stars.
as I would
reach for you.
their ghost like
fingers clawing
at the night.
stretching into
infinity as they
fade into the
darkness.
as I fade
away from
you.
