Relief - Visitor's Love Poem

by Paul
(Redondo Beach, CA, USA)

there is a light that rests on the water
something secret and beautiful...
and thru the water's reflection
and all the glass and silk...
the last of the fire is falling upon us
like a gift... a perfect gift
nothing more need be said

why is it in this silence
you get all the relief...
and I get autumn leaves...

dark lines streak across my face...
I am like the wind without a breeze
without you there is no relief....
