A Single Rose

yellow boots

mixed in with reflecting pools

where I have seen other worlds dwell

 

sun up

sun down

clouds like fragments of a child’s dream

there I was witness to the rise of summer

 

Creedence with his shaggy hair

inquiring

if I have seen rain on such a day

 

the music plays as if a lullaby

city streets swept

by the old hag with her crooked broom

 

tell me

when did days like these shed such light?

 

the tulips that had never bloomed

daffodils that had never awakened

 

and you

a single rose

swiftly singing into the night

a song sung by the lonely

 

it’s to you I can relate
