Figure In Silhouette

Figure in silhouette dances the streets
a shadow here
a flicker there
figure in silhouette dances the streets
gentle breeze blows a scent this way
sweet perfume
so intoxicating
so delightful
one looks to see whence it came
and all that is there...
figure in silhouette dances the streets
you're there
I can see you
but you may not take form here
I shall go find the city
where the figure in silhouette
dances the streets
and finally steps out of the shadows
for me.
