a pair of humans

A man and a woman

Shake on the patio

Loving in silence, chanting prayer

'Make him my life companion, Lord'

God smiles, 'then be'

Fate broke, bring happy fragrant flowers

At other times

A pair of men and women

Hand in hand through the rain

Bring the season of love in the wet air rinai

'Make me his wife', booming prayers overflowing in space

God smiles, 'the best is not him'

Rain shouted, filling the sidelines

Promise faded in the blackened sky
