soul passing

I woke up last night
and Frank Sinatra was standing over my bed
he was wearing a tux
when he took my hand
it felt warm
and he led me out to the veranda
music was playing quietly on the record player
we danced slowly in the moon's light
reminding me of when I was very young
and my father would dance with me
it felt comfortable, familiar
and as the song slowed to an end
I thought to myself that
this has been the best night of my life
