Dream-kiss

Marjorie Allen Seiffert

MOMENT of delight—most delicate,

Cool as a rose is cool;

Swift and silent as a pool

To mirror wings in flight;

Passionate as frost is passionate

With patterns intricate and white;

Pure as music in the night,

Far off, yet intimate—

It came

Poignant as beauty on swift feet of flame.

It paused … was gone … most delicate

Moment of delight.
