The gown in liquid folds
Sky blue edged in indigo
Counterpoints her 
White hair piled in thoughtful
Random fashion to reveal her 
Alabaster shoulders 
The scent of Lavender 
Strapless 
With the silhouette of a far 
Younger woman 
Grace and poise
Serenity and love
A full moon rising from the depths
Frames her in art nouveau
Facing away 
Turning at my footstep
Her smile welcoming
Her opera gloved hand 
Reaches out to mine
The touch electric
The orchestra 
A rhapsody in blue
Gently drifting effortlessly
To eternity
