It's Pledged
Clouds gather on the horizon
Dark and ominous and brazen
The evening light distorted
Reality gaily aborted
Tentative sliver of pearl light
Empowering my eager sight
On the rippled water it’s pledged
Your long forgotten face edged
*pledged (v): to drink a toast to somebody
“Drink to me, only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine”
Ben Jonson, To Celia
