Faces and voices, distinct and vividFlashed back like a star lost in darkBeaming a wide loud smileSmelled fragrant and whiteYou only sound and feelRest all picturesque, unimaginable, undesirableMumbled and feebleJust you and me somewhere in deep darkStepping into serenityJust you and me, talking and laughing In darkness, the wind brushes our facesWe fly higher and
