you sing a distant song

CASTING MEMORIES

At this place
under the shelter
of the long, still evening,
we gathered in the moments
that built us together
that held us
in the everlasting love.

ON THE DECK OF THE SHIP

The serpent of the sea
was wrapped in the blanket
of drizzle and mist
that lifted the ocean
by the sky to be kisses;
the serpent of the sea
in cold waters slumbered,
her sorrows unknown
ploughed deep by the cut
where the seeds were sown.

AGES PAST

Our eyes sparkled through
the fog of the years,
recognition came slowly
and then the stories
needed no second invitation
as they come tumbling
from the memories of the
times we shared.

OLD FRIENDS

How old we were,
grey hair and
a stooped shuffle,
we moved slowly
up the long aisle
towards his coffin,
peeling left and right
to ease ourselves
into a pew.
