O rose, come and dance
On my heart as its soil
Has been dry
For too long.
O moon, come and smile
As there are a thousand
Willing flirtatious ones at
The door, these shining stars.
When creek seduces river
Into submission, rain-drop
Smiles and says, “No time
For second-act side-shows,
I am a soldier from the empire
Of sun-and-ocean union,
Descending upon and
Making it fertile grounds.”
