When You Cross My Heart...


 What a show in the east as the sun set in the west!

 If I could I would give those barns a nudge on an evening like this!


Oh, when you cross my heart
A tug as old as time
Twists common colours into art
Like lyrics into rhyme
Or petals falling where
The flower-garden was
Or whispers that turn into prayer
Or pastel pink of dusk
Tossed on earth’s eastern brim
As on the westward fell
The eventide flames with a hymn
That word can never spell
And something like a tear
Slips into sacred art
That feels somewhat the same, my dear
As when you cross my heart
