Wasteland (Part 1)

Part 1

I.

 

Summer surprised us all, as

We passed the windswept colonnade,

Stopping in a little nook, for

Coffee, and some shade.

 

You and I were many, so

Together, we were quite a crowd.

You and I were many, so

Our songs, together, were quite loud.

 

In the fiery din of love, I

Could hear you screaming out;

Begging for an answer, I

Responded with a Silent Shout:

 

"This is what you waited for.

This is what you wanted all along.

Now, relax, while I set the score--

Worry not: I speak

                            not loud

                            nor long."
