How beautiful the flower
that yields without duress,
its beauty held ageless in winter’s breath
as powdery snow gloves the fingers.
A meeting point between pristine
innocence and the veiled promise of ecstasy.
The expectation of a moonlit bloom,
and the clandestine touch of soft crystal light.
Shall we walk forgotten paths
beside a dark becalmed sea
where I can taste the saltiness in the air,
and pluck the marram grass
with a gentle loving hand.
The wind will whisper a pardon
when love goes passing by.
