Magic Melody by Phil[that sudden vow]
Her face lit, and light
hands dancing like a conductor's,
voice a virtuoso's

instrument trilling waves of laughter.
Heavy accent clothes too big
on the running children of her thoughts
who were growing so fast it didn't matter.

Together we danced - singing our different tongues
to the same melody
we never knew we knew,
strangers suddenly
parents to a million futures.
