In The Still Of Delight

Flowers shift and sway
as he watches her walk away
The dust swirls round her feet
in the late afternoon heat

Time seems to stand still
as he watches her from the hill
The dust settles on his coat
as words stick in his throat

Daylight is beginning to dim
as she still walks away from him
The flowers on her dress fade
as she passes into the shade

In the stillness of her leaving
he has found himself grieving
His heart fills with desire
as he remembers her fire

Flowers sway as he runs past
needing to tell her at last
The dust follows in his wake
as his heart begins to ache

He finds her and holds her near
kissing away every tear
And in the still of delight
their love passes into the night
