duck

will you remember…

Clear waters unchanged

in a meadow

I saw once long ago,

will you remember

this face of mine?

Standing quietly by the fence,

you smile your wondrous smile.

I am speechless, and my senses are filled

by the sounds of your beautiful song,

beginningless and endless.

I bow deeply to you.
