Flickering

I feel your presence    
As if touching a different dimension  
Timeless    
Like a tongue of flame    
A wave of heat that can't be held    
Flickering magic    
As I stare into you    
    
You    
Who have yet to shed the seed of dreams    
Break the earth and feel the warmth    
To blossom bedewed    
All fragrance and beauty spelled    
Dreamt but not yet held    
I feel your presence here    
I feel you    
As a whisper feels near    
   
You    
Who sometimes seems half glimpsed    
As if from the corner of my eye    
Found in a touch of beauty unremarked before    
In the ordinary day to day    
So the ethereal you eludes    
As with the stilling pause  
When comes a cooling breeze  
Which causes to look beyond the mark  
Into distances unseen    
For there's a knowing    
Outside the ebb and flow of time    
Like the thought which stays the mind to linger    
If but a moment more    
Not quite sure  
Or perhaps chanced voice    
When no one else is near    
The faint fragrance of spring in wintertime    
So's the longing which finds you here    
   
How else can I define you    
Whispered by the prophetess of love
