Nothing is guaranteed. Nothing is for certain. All will surely pass. And yet faith in love makes us take another step towards our ageing selves.
Here is another poem I managed to lever out of my word trunk.
It's to celebrate what I hold most dear.
There was an empty bowl
A bell’s distant echo
A sky after the birds flew by
There was a whisper in the night
Pebbles without a stream
To caress them into song
There was a bough fallen on the verge
A litter of autumn’s cast offs
A taste of sunlight beyond the clouds
And then you called in the silence
And then there was singing
A flame licking coals
Light to see by
And then there was verdant joy
Spreading like whiskey
And cheeks aglow with knowing
And there will be
Sunsets and sea and salt
And trinkets on the sand
Delivered into a shared set of footprints
Ever on
