Summer was always your favourite time
walking hand in hand sand and sea
blissfully discarding easy footprints
Traces…
given to the earth freely
Moments made and captured in memories
of all our living days of raptured thought
unspoken love of shared dreams and
Promises to be
as we slept entwined in
Rustled creased and disentangled
sheets of love laid bare
alive within dreams and life that flowed
Breathed life and lived again
into tomorrow’s sky..
So easily
we spoke of all creation
while the sun rose and set again
On our love
until the temporary illusion of time was shattered
by the mechanical tick tock
time running out
Dissolving eroding from the inside
melting away in shattering rebounding jarring silence
Our vivid sky trickling and pouring down
onto our laps
where our eyes settled and closed
Until you took my hand again
and smiled…
And that is why You are brave to me
why your hand is still in mine
why your heart is with me
and we are still there chatting on that bench
sitting in the light of our days…
because you chose to let go
On a beautiful summers day
when all the world and the fresh blue living sky
Was singing and laughing…
