Blessings From a Setback

planning a fresh start
inky fog delays train ride…
life’s choices on hold

   while metro lamps fade
   …a  shadow appears on the lane
   with roses waving

 he pleads atonement                                              
 beneath moonlit confessions…
 tears kissing my fears

along gleam of night
....prayers melt our love’s setback
 train’s jammed ride… fate’s gift

Making up is the best part of any argument. Good thing the fog set in. As elegant as it should be, nette.
