BLITHESOME

Like two leaves 
Brought together by the wind 
We lie on a heap of life that was 
Some chipped dreams, 
Hidden in the dust 
Of toil and strife 
And a few unbidden tears 
Amid some broken down memories... 

Who knew 
One weightless, wayward flight 
Would lead us, fortuitously

Following rustling whispers 
To this sublime moment

In destiny 
Where you would touch my life 
In tiny flutters, so sweet 
And this colourless heap 
Of withering sepia days 
Would be replete 
In love sprouting green… 
The beginning of a joyous spring
