It came too late in the day.
A day started as promised
in the tales I read, the
songs they sang.
 
The sun rose, clouds passed.
Your name was whispered
-the sound paused
to hang in a line of verse;
long enough to become
an echo. Unable to wait
it passed into a memory,
having come too late in the day.
