Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 47. Sweet Summer
Fireflies
dance with midsummer’s moon
in a field of silvered buttercups,
like fragments of lightning calling one another
in delight to be freed from thunder
too grave for warm darkness
and romance.
Beloved,
your name is on my lips
in the hours when starlight shines brightest,
when sweetest dreams caress consciousness to waking
and shadows reconstruct the known world
into gentle mornings
filled with hope.
Gentle rain
patters upon the roof
engaging night in conversation,
bringing neither news nor gossip from east or west,
yet sounding to my attentive ear
like a thousand whispers
of your love.
