"Just Before Sharon Sleeps"

by Jeph Johnson

 

      How do I invest
interest I've compiled,
      Favoring moments
underneath your smile?
      By choosing occasions
that savor your content;
      Temperate and solemn,
Without guilt or regret.
      A resounding symphony
rides the distance in your eyes.
      It orchestrates the morning
by exceeding the sunrise.
      While silently your efforts
begin to harmonize.
      The resolute dawning
you parallel soon dies.
