Golden Arrow

He arrived with golden wings And knocked upon my door I couldn't wait to answer it So I ran across the floor. He asked if he could come inside And spend a little time, I offered him a cup of tea But from the tap he poured some wine. He asked me to come with him And speak of love so true, How he shoots his arrows Into one heart that become two. "On this special day" he said A day for lovers' young and old, Golden arrows shoot through the stars Into homes around the globe. "I have an excellent record And do my work with care, When my golden arrow strikes one heart It continues on from there" When I awoke next morning On my pillow I did weep, The most precious moment of my life Was it a dream? Was I asleep? I walked into the kitchen Of my dream I couldn't part, Then I saw the note that said I placed a Golden Arrow Into your lonely heart. Lynn Barany
