By Mike Turner
A ripple in still water Steals ‘cross the mirror’d pool Stirred by a breath-like zephyr The languid air to cool Golden sunlight dappling Through foliage high in trees We lay in rustling grasses To gently take our ease Our lips so gently brushing In tender moment’s kiss Warm in our joint embraces Cradled within our bliss ‘Til twilight falls upon us Bright stars shimmer above Reflecting our shared heart-light Two souls entwined in love Could I but pass my days At study in this school Of rippling, gentle water In placid, mirror’d pool
