You cross my path

poem by: Gerry Legister
Written on Sep 03, 2016

You cross my path today 
In solitude and silence 
Then you Smile, and floated away, 
Giving my heart a brief indulgence. 

I thought about that voyage,
That you will take from this hasty bend, 
Then the path before me will submerge 
Covered over, and come to a dead end.

Those brief moments will take silent shelter, 
In provisional time the jewel of precious kind  
Limit the power for us to spend together, 
There is no better wish that I could find.

Where joy holds the candle in my heart  
Until the day dawn when the light shines 
Across the tracks where beauty smile bright 
And the splendor of time gently chimes.

Our lips will find words that know no end 
Breaking forth from around every bend.
