The Uncertainty Principle (2)

Tonight our words - and silences - have led us somewhere strange. With glances and with gestures we've both hinted at the truth I've dared more than I've dared before - I think you've done the same. But do I dare - and should I dare - to make that final move? Alone within this moment, you and I, And in the stillness (charged and yet serene a symphony before the first note sounds) Your beauty floods my senses. I have dreamed So often of this moment that it seems Unreal, and yet more real than all my life. But moments are but moments, whether good or ill, they pass The path forks here - I make my choice The symphony begins/The moment fades, is gone April 2003
