Chimes tinkling 

In 

Sleepless

Night-time melodies

Feint gamelan spirits in ghostly reveries

Wind playing in strange tuneless concerts

Stars twinkling

 In 

Endless

Dark empty skies

Pressed upon panes of cold black glass

Night sprites dancing, entrancing around an enclosed world

Lights blinking

In

Boundless

Calling of wee minutes

Gentle cyclic silences mixed with soft music

Aged memories confused with fresh fantastic dreams

Times linking

In

Darkness

Life coming back together

In lost empty spaces and distant sacred places

Momentary only

Timeless

 Being

An 

Ephemeral

Fleeting

 Thing
