A view from the galaxy

head upon the downy pillow
underneath the weeping willow
by the bubbling river’s greening bend

the filtered sunlight slanting down
you brought to me a daisy crown
I wished this merry moment not to end

the leaves a-flutter, summer snowing
sleepy syllables of knowing
our sundering and silences to end

and now, we’ll pick the periwinkles
and walk home in the starry twinkles
the nightingales and whippoorwills attend

I’ll cradle your endearing face
you’ll swear to me, upon this place
we’ll stay until our hearts will fully mend
