You Came as a Thought

(Moonrise, 1906, by B. J. O. Nordfeldt,
1878-1955, American Expressionist
painter and printmaker)

Love is never too late.

YOU CAME AS A THOUGHT

when I was past such thinking
you came as a song when I had

finished singing you came when
the sun had just begun its setting

you were my evening star.

~ James Laughlin (1914-1997), American poet and publisher of literary books and journals
