Summer's Dream, Slipping Away...

In brilliant summer's golden haze
I chanced on by and caught your gaze,
you watched the field in solstices’ gleam
caught in daytime's daylight dream...

I watched the scene when twilight came
it called softly, your sweet name
and walked we did, in summer's dream
in all its hues of gold and green...

without a word and nary a touch
we said "I love you, very much"
from gaze to gaze we slipped on in
in summer's shadows, twilight dim...

all the delights of summer held
when our gaze took hold to meld
my memory, yours, your memory, mine,
stopped to hear the ivy twine...

and knowing that I could not stay,
I told you that I must go away
so I went, leaving you behind
in summer's heat, under moonlit sky...

so now in fantasy's golden haze
I'll chance upon you, catch your gaze,
as you dream o'er fields in dusky blue
caught in life’s whimsy only we knew...

Love the rich cadance and emotive timelessness of this, Sissie.
