Dante's eternal flame

~

there is a sudden softness
of the invisible
emerging into the vision beyond slow darkness

an undefined warmth
that saturates inner wind
with blossom of the clouded moon

each time
i await the somber hour of wakefulness

and i wonder if you feel
when i breathe soundless dreams out
cherishing a thought about your arms

because
Dear One

where i am
but in a hidden note
of the nightingale’s voice
singing a canticle for your star

a tiny ode for your spirit
shining
on the horizon
of infinity

i only hope
one morning
you melt my lips
and we fly

until then i’ll be
as unfallen snow
in the stillness of winter sky
