December 2007, Dublin, Ireland

By Chance...

By chance our starlight
Fell on the same darkness,
Awoke a senseless blight
From which a well did spring

Quenching doubled up thirst.

Reflections in the watery mirror stare
and shoot to glazed eye.
She my girl meets it there
And looks back in wonder.
A fleeting moment has gone by.

Take her hands and make from them wings
Shake a leaf and wake up, wake up and be bound.
