They soared in the twilight br Suspended between br The rain and the river, br The seen and unseen. br Two banks framed the picture – br Divine symmetry – br And he drank his coffee, br While she sipped her tea. br br They talked, but said nothing. br They listened and heard br The sighs and the pauses br But never - the word. br ‘t was fleeting, ‘t was slipping, br The moment was gone. br Two figures retreating br To two banks, not one.
