ABSTRACT


The sun full in the sky
Obstructed by clouds
Still its warmth is felt
Wind blowing from the north

She sits in silent contemplation
What might have been
The sorrow of the past fading
Now is here

She lives, a moment in time
A singularity of the present
He comes to her
A flower in hand

The look of why
Have you come in bitterness
Harmful words and thoughts
She dismisses him with a wave

The rocks beneath her
Hard and unforgiving
Her heart solid in resolve
Never again

Are there angels about her
Why do they not speak
Alone in this place
She has found peace within

Not to judge but to be obtuse
In thought and mind
To love where love is returned
Then maybe to love without question
