I listen for the caramel sound of your sweet voice sitting on a weathered old bench at Vista 3 in Erna Nixon park the wind sighs where so many have waited I listen for the still small voice a mosquito whines in my ear and the lanky shadows of late afternoon backpacking through the swampy wetlands listen tooβ¦. flowers bloom, long trumpets from our ears I catch a glimpse of the One with lotus petaled lips and orange robes disappearing just beyond the vermilion horizon I run to catch up with You O elusive One always one step ahead of me
