One Peaceful Afternoon

Sometimes there are songs sung, sometimes dancing in the street, Once in awhile the blind fall in love with those they meet. Memories will linger, memories will call the tune, Sometimes on the breezes the old music comes too soon. Ladies plant the tulips in-between last years old rows, Then feel the sands of time slide so softly through their toes. Blossoms will arrive soon with the season's passing days, They follow shadows quick moving through the sunshine's rays. Lovers walk through a park underneath the skies of blue, Hand in hand, down the path, past the places they once knew. Children ride upon swings which move back and forth in rhyme, They be carried through dreams, taken to another time. Some follow the footprints that had been left in the snow, Some stay just where they are, they have nowhere else to go. I myself wake from sleep and peek slowly o’er the dune, Wondering where she’s gone on this peaceful afternoon.
