MEDITATION

MEDITATION
I beheld you wearing a white and gold sweater,
In the realm of paradise, sitting at a table.
Your eyes were of brown, your tresses were of sable.
I was free from all pain, from every worldly fetter.
Behind you was a window, looking out to sea,
Over verdant meadows, gleaming in the daylight.
With an adoring cadence you gazed upon me.
Our love was effulgent, sanctified and bright.
Then, along with Venus, the nascent, glowing night
Serenaded you on a balcony where wept
Mellifluous strains as vows were made, secrets kept.
And as the cherubim beheld that sacred sight,
I kissed your soft lips above the tall, slender fountains,
As the court turned gold, as the sun beyond the mountains.
