Afternoon
Syrupy light flows through
Oblique blinds and
Falls on an autumn rose
It removes itself from the world and
Splashes on the darkening petals
Shall we say hello
Shall we meet again
Shall we discern
Love in a single moment
Can we return to the moment
When the moment was born
Shall we remember and
Love anew
Let us introduce ourselves now
As friends and lovers
Let pa**ion fall
As light falls on the rose
And allow our souls to
Mingle on this soft afternoon
Born, wondrous and radiant
Again
