One Moment More (poem)
What dreams are left without a hope of dawn
Two lovers holding fast onto the night
Uncertainty now masked by their delight
One moment more and this too will be gone
-
One moment more to kiss the last of light
As our hearts sore while lovers carry on
To distant shore again we call upon
And there we swore to hold this moment tight
-
We are the dreams that lighten their dismay
The quiet kiss when all has gone amiss
The breath of hope which scents their memories
-
One moment more a whisper from warm breeze
A kiss to bless the memory of this
And with the dawn two dreams are swept away
