BRAVO

Love is blind
as it takes up and leads us
through fields that have lush corn
my tense mind relaxes and smiles as it watches you sleeping

There are better plays
for actors as good as we both like to be
now the stage lies in wait
as the curtain of fate draws the line

We are fine
as we take up our moment
and find ourselves entwined
though which tree to climb
for all the branches are broken, on the floor they lay weeping

There are better days
of mountainous tea lawns
and people with much time
it's here our stories lay
the applause is so loud we appear for an encore

Us we can find
we can unwind
you and me and time we can find
we can unwind
you and me in time we can find
love is blind.
