Analysis of Afternoon in Beacon
Afternoon in Beacon
A time so new, A journey I dare
A glass of wine, My soul to bare
The trees they change with colors abound
My heart is still racing for a soul that I found
So dance all you shadows that live on the street
A joyous occasion, just at your feet
A smile of wonder of what it might bring
Just here in the moment, that one little thing
A soft breeze, a moment of ease
It has to be something
It’s neither of these
Unspoken words
All of us heard
A touch of a hand
A thought that we can
