THEY BLENDED OUT OF SIGHT

 

 

THEY BLENDED OUT OF SIGHT

 

The hour was still yet early

and no irresolution steeled

his firm and regally held resolve.

 

Like floating dust in sunlit beams

he walked unscathed in dignity

within the pathway’s margins set

he blended out of sight.

====

Her best desires had all escaped

and issuing forth in prim attire

she stood untouched by vanity

 

With steady hands she slowly raised

her flowing gown and walked along

the puddled path that led away

she blended out of sight.

=====

And on that pathway pointing east

but little modified by time

they met as lovers often do

discreet, invisible, unknown

as shadows lost within the air

they blended out of sight.
