Once - 0242 - 2008 Version

These offspring of a poet's pen
As unclaimed orphans wait till when
Love's links are stimulated, trace
Each ph[r]ase in roundelay's embrace.
Once in a lifetime, only then,
Find we without tri[s]te mise en scène,
Purity Time can't deface,
A note in tune with Time and Space.
Reality? Hallucinogen?
As senses swirl, defenceless men,
Drawn in, reborn, gaze on true grace,
Impact intense naught could replace,
Seen once, to be forgotten never,
Eternal aura awes forever.
