Naiad

you came into my life
like a beautiful vision
that i could touch. . .

we talked and laughed
loved and lived
like sudden dreamers. . .

you whirled and smiled away
dancing to your karma
transparent in your motion. . .

we slid apart like stars
flung to other galaxies
or just to other doorways. . .

you disappeared, a dream
i still remember
through these lines. . .

poems sparked from
sky-blue eyes
through my fingertips. . .
