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
