A tragic evening

Long shadows of evening that intercept each other
Uneven meadows where children hide and seek
Under the shade of the tired sun, when we sat to discover each other
With my eyes turned to ground and yours zeroed to peak.

I twiddled my thumbs, urged you to accompany
My dear you said it would be too hard a journey
I looked at your strange face bearing redness past sun in background,
Oh was it the same one with whom I enjoyed the symphony.

The more I felt I discovered you, the more stranger you get
Thy eyes seeming shining my tending to wet
You turned mysterious as never before
And I think I have to discover you yet.
