Here is the river
that MasterM built dams across
and here is the island
that MissM sat on in the heat of summer
and this is the bridge
that Poppy fell off, into the pools below.
They were not there today
but I was
and the river looked beautiful
in the afternoon sunshine
and I thought of them
and smiled.
Your thoughts keep them with you, just as they think of you and carry you always with them.

ReplyDeleteThe river, the light, they all invite to think and reminisce ...
