Classic Poem

That evening
faces faded around us
The room was drowned in fog
Nothing lived
but the shining blue of your eyes
and the call in that
shining blue
where my heart
sailed, a ship
driven by the tide
The tide carried
us onto a sea
without shores
stretching
limitless current
and flow
waves telling the endless
story of life
now abridged in one glance
and the earth drowned in the rushing
flood of winds and rain

That evening
my garden awoke
The fingers of the wind
unhinged its fences
Grasses swayed, flowers bursting,
fruits ripening
in the blissful dance of wind and rain
Faces faded, all else was a fog
that evening
nothing existed
but the blue shining light in your eyes
and the call in the shining blue
where my heart sailed
like a ship driven by the tide.
