Then....and...now...!

Looking for a list I had written last year I found this


August 2011


I slip
through the shadows
of this,
my life now

my lips smile,
my mouth laughs
my feet move me
in directions I know not

I wait impatiently
for the too infrequent night
when dreams
become my reality

where once more
we face the sun
and stride through it
together

This was my weekend

March 2012

Alone, I started the car
alone, I drove
on narrow shaded roads
stopped in unfamiliar villages

Alone, I booked into an hotel
alone, I ate my meal

Together I share my lunch
with friends
together, we laugh and
together we remember

together we share the joy
of our friends.
They renew their vows
of 40 years ago
and
together, we celebrate
their life

rainbow hues
tint the shadows
of the trees,
as I drive home,
alone

life moves on
it's not the same
but....
It is,

a new beginning...
