SOARING

Bleak afternoon,

Weary heart and mind,

Cosmic blankness stares at world.



Sullen looks,

And dismal laughter,

Remind me of an old film.



Bergman-like,

In a gas-lit street,

Your presence still pervades.



Liz Browning,

And her fine love poems,

Lend life to a bygone theme.



Future stares,

Like a bright rainbow,

As you wave at me to soar.



Nothing now,

Seems important than,

You and me in sky’s caress.
