In the quiet of the room

In the quiet of the room
Colors covered for the night
My thoughts unfold, an evening bloom
Coaxed forth by the faintest light

A kaleidoscope of butterflies
Shadows stirring in the dark
Whispering both truth and lies
To seed my dreams with any spark

And seated with a patient ear
My conscience watches homeless thoughts
That flare and fade and disappear
Trying their luck at being caught

And somewhere in their fluttering
A treasure takes its time to grow
A song that I should love to sing
A melody I want to know

And just as I pick up the tune
I slip away, the world released
But don't look for me past the moon
I'm not that far, not in the least.
