Quiet

On the edge of everyday beauty

Seen through the tree at the end of its leaf

See your smile, an endless beauty

On your face; here for all of time in sans serif


Blues and greys and golden silvers

A backcloth to the silhouettes of youth

Back again in bud by springtime

The bloom of you in boundless truth


Still the skies on Monday mornings

Factories have died to far off plans

Arise my man in deep mid winter

Think again of summer’s strands


See your smile, still in wonder

Games to play with strings and band
