A QUORUM OF QUINZANES

 

A QUORUM OF QUINZANES

 

She opens her aching heart

Does it still bear scars?

Will they heal? 

 

The light is still on inside

Is it occupied?

Is he there? 

 

He speaks with a quiet voice

Will she hear his words?

Will she smile? 

 

The match flared with a blue flame

Was the tinder dry?

Will it burn? 

 

The fire in her heart was strong.

Is it still burning?

Is it quenched?
