At crossroads we met
Weary of solitude
Having trudged long days
On our own forlorn paths.
I saw you across the road
A mirage, a dream long fostered
Of laughter and love,
And you saw me
A mirage, a wildflower,
A haven for your heart.
Briefly we dwelled
In the solace of illusions
Under the summer sun
Red blossoms and green shade,
Whistling to the wind
In each other’s arms
Souls adrift
In breezy gaity;
Briefly we dwelled
In each other’s dreams.
Twilight set in,
Two shadows parted
With stars singing
Quiet requiems for the passing light
As the twinning roads
Again took us
On our lone journeys home.
Serendipitous Rambling
