With a Turn



         
Subtly she came to me,

Like the wind before it kisses your face

Crisp, soft, fresh wind

Her dress,

Ankle high, forms sensuously around her waist

Soft and true as the inlaid flowers patterned on it

Gently, barely it sways to brush my trousers

That scent.

No... aroma that fills the air so sweet as she passes

A fragrance that makes your eyes gently close to dream


With a turn she pauses;

A pause that holds the world still in anticipation

Time, distance, those eyes

She sees my soul, knows my dreams and holds my future

It’s but a glance. A soft moment in time, but...

Those eyes.

I turn to see a child dancing, her long brown hair so free

Singing as she tosses flowers through the air

The wind blows, the aroma fades,

My dreams touch the horizon
