Tryst (A Suite Of 4 Poems) Poem by Diana van den Berg

A suite of 4 poems

GLANCE

It was a momentary pact
of who knows what
for who knows how long
but so exhilarating
and bewitching
that a new path was born.

CONVERSATION

The leaf swayed in the wind
and the light danced on it
and flew to another
in celebration of
Life.

MOMENT

The pan flute set free celestial trills
and held the last note forever
and the world stopped turning
to listen
to the attainment
of Perfection.

AFTERMATH

It was a moonstruck silence
which held
all things
on tiptoe at the edge of Time.

(December 1998)
