Blue-lit Balcony

Oh how much has happened since I last

Wrote in this notebook which

Contains

The fragments of poems

Adoring words

A life which once

was

The candid love laid bare

Expressed no more

Save an eager dream

A timid thought

I know so little in this

Great life I’ve lived

Quietly walking on

Having been taught

The sincerest

Joy

When I die

I know what I wish to see

From my happiest days

In bed with you

Cuddled in our loft

The warm home we made

Together

Winter time and

The vivid gleam

Imbued with love

Of our Christmas tree

And blue-lit balcony
