Silver and Gold

Can we meet at the bridge?golden-gate-bridge.jpg
Will you promise to be there?
Your eyes are like diamonds
shining in the sun.
Clouds drift away, and
raindrops stop.
You rise like a flame
on the mountaintop.
I am like silver, and
you are like gold.

I am like silver, and
you are like gold.
On the mountaintop
you rise like a flame
and the raindrops stop and
clouds drift away.
You shine like the sun.
Your eyes are like diamonds.
Will you promise to be there?
Can we meet at the bridge?

    Robin, that was so moving and full of longing. I hope he gets his wish and keeps writing.
