Love Song

Under the boughs, the blossom shower drifted 
downwards with the rain; 
time stood still, yet hour upon hour shifted 
the earth's moist counterpane. 
Taking the air, a breath of musing sang 
a hymnal melody; 
and God's decision, his own choosing, rang 
the change for you and me. 
Holding the moment, framed in glory, took 
each other by surprise; 
flickers of grandeur in a story book 
reflected in her eyes. 
Loneliest lives, duplicity stung, were freed 
by kismet arbitrate; 
and a silent love song sweetly sung, decreed 
by the holiest seal of fate.
