Written on 17 April 1990
Today
you walked
into my garden
unannounced
The wind
stopped
at your feet
in veneration
The moon
halted
in its stride
to peep
Venus
skipped
a heartbeat
at your blush
The sun
cursed
itself
for the missed chance
The flowers
delayed
their sleep
in delight
The leaves
trembled
in
boundless joy
Even the birds
did not sing
but listened
to your melody
All the while
I gazed
speechless and dumb
and wondered
Is this
a chance joy
or a harbinger of
the joys to come?
