She came, alighting,

Beauty flew on a sunbeam,

Sipping sweet nectar,

Of earth’s bounty partaking,

The moment we shared

A sun-kissed summer morning.

Bright fragility,

She paused the moments

While summer’s sunrays

Dancing shadows created,

Joyous seconds sealed

Time, two creatures of our world.
