A Chance Encounter

Do you recall the time
When we two strangers
Paused on a wooded path
In the springtime
Of our youth?
When our eyes locked momentarily
Each held the other
Enthralled
Scarcely drawing breath
Savouring the moment?
Then, our surrender to convention
Passing...words of desire
Left unspoken on our lips
Retreating, saddened at the certain
Knowledge of what might have been
Had we but met
Before others imposed
Their rules
Upon whom we may
And may not love?
Now, after half a century
We stand before each other
In another dell
I wonder...
Will we make
The same mistake again?
Stoney, 14 June 98
