DRAWN BACK

 

Drawn back

Deep sense of anticipation

A dream haze in the air

People and mouths move

But silence overwhelms the room

As she floats in

Buoyant as is her smile

And then the full sweet voice

Sure of itself

As she is brazen with her beauty

Her eyes a bright morning

When the elements seem perfect

And you are right there

As she holds you

In her soft gaze

            A memory of a thousand greetings

            Having taken place somewhere

            To be re-lived

            With this bright girl

            Sent to my side

            Seemingly to stay

Past moments of surpassing joy

Past times of golden afternoons

Laughing along the path

Back from the silence of the night

Her memory firm and true

Unknown gifts for the remainders

Wait to be discovered

Her kind view of the world

As if truth and peace were the reality

Has remained with us

Through each harsh day                                                                               230201.1
