Side by side

Here

Here we stood waiting
the wind, the mist
the dust and I

all of us
in grave-end thoughts
anxious and afraid

at infatuation instant
the mist eloped
to the unseen

swept off its feet
the dust rumbled in matrimony
with the whirlwind’s passionate madness

still I stand here alone
lost in lone thoughts
anxious and afraid
