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
