It Was You

Burns Sonnet

You were in a dream that I had

And we were staring at each other

In a crowded theater all mad

Midst chaos and din another

Moment in time carved by lovers,

Frame by frame or oil pastels

Frozen forever 'tween glass covered

These pressed leaves and petals;

Sap rising in our sugar maples

Sharing the rains growing our roots

Deeper than reddest orchards apples

Love blooms in shaded peaceful spots,

Dreamt and remembered like the first

Time we kissed to quench its thirst.
