A MOMENT OF SILENCE



For my wife Carmen


A moment of silence
when nothing appears

but brightening sun-dance
in dreams of my years.


Soft silence of sunbeams
is colouring you:

a woman in blue jeans
a beauty so true.

Pink roses of silk stuff
look quiet, observing

the sunbeams where white fluff

seems shining and burning.

The shining of sunbeams
appears with the thought

that I drew some long lines

with mercy thanks God.
