COME

Come

Let us walk

Along the wooded path

Once more.

In the twilight stillness,

When the day and night

Have suspended their differences,

Take my hand

And let your palm tell mine

You are with me.

Our footfalls muffled

On dew drenched grass,

Our breaths laboured in unison,

Our hearts pushing their confines,

Let us walk again.

Come

Walk with me in silence,

For how can my lips say,

In words

Inadequate, incomplete,

That which my soul has uttered?

Come

Look into my world.

Arrayed

In all its shapes and colours,

Its nights and its days,

The sunlight and the shadows,

The phases of the moon,

The seasons

And the blooms,

The fragrance of night flowers

On the breeze,

The ache that worries

My sleep,

In every tear poised to roll,

In fears that on my spirit

Take their toll,

The ecstasy and the will to live,

The melody of my soul;

In all these

You shall see who

But you?
