Let me be …

Let me be your insignificant thought,
your temporary draught’s passing stream
let me seek you at an hour unsought,
let me be your inexpensive dream.

Let me be that secret smile,
the pretty stranger’s pause awhile,
let me be the drop of rain,
that meets your lips to your disdain.

Let me be the dusty milestone
that’s forgotten once the road is shown
let me be your whisper at noon-
a whimsical cloud over a November moon

Let me be – just let me be!
your fleeting thought in a voyage at sea,
let me be – just let me be
your hesitant hymn, in a hasty plea.
