TIME CAPSULE

A fitful gentle autumn breeze
blew coolly through the patient trees,
raced along the wet sidewalk
carrying light distant talk.

Raindrops sparkled bright like dew.
Dull gray sunshine shone right through
colorful fluttering leaves,
cheering anyone who grieves.

Wind whistled through dark bandstand,
then vanished in distant parkland.
She was hopeful he would come
removing all the sadness from.

Iron bench stood by to console
as prop to help her play her role.
She strained to see through foggy mist
her partner in romantic tryst.

She paced about with anxious heart,
playing through her lonely part.
No revelation left a trace:
art had frozen time and place.
