Darkening Of The Light

Like a ghost-is the curtain
in the white light of the morning-
dancing in the morning
are you there-are you there?
and a shadow-like a sadness
falling all across the garden
dancing in the garden
are you there, are you there? [bad word] 
Shine on, friend.  
Goodnight
Why then the darkening of the light
and the leaves at my feet
whisper sounds so familiar
whisper so familiar-
are you there? are you there? [bad word] 
where the clouds pull apart
and the moon changes faces
in the quiet secret places
are you there?  are you there?
