Until Tomorrow

There's a blue velvet world  
like a marble  
in your eye,  
where shadows and storms  
retreat when you smile,  
and sleep  
in its discernment  
is mankind's blessing—  
despite vague dreams  
that keep you guessing.  
A night's intermezzo  
is a pause from the day,  
when the mind turns slowly  
on joys or dismay.  
There's a blue velvet world  
like a marble  
in your eyes.  
I know 'cause I've seen  
where your beauty lies.
