The Barrier ..Time

                                                             
                                                              The Barrier...Time


      At last, the meeting now adjourned

      A shimmer in a glancing eye

      The prickly flame inside me churned
     
      But the barrier... time, between us lies.


      A chance encounter with radiant sun
   
      A hopeful and courageous try

      To be so lucky... A distant one

      But the barrier... time between us lies.


      Now conversation bright and brisk
     
      With thoughts welding in our minds
   
      We chanced the universal risk
     
      And the barrier...time between us lies.


      A honeyed merging in twilight

      implanting visions with easy grace

      Of futures lit in candle light

      And the barrier... time between us lies.
