Poem -
evergreen leaves
Leaves crawl
all over the wall –
your fingers finding my skin
sensitive to the heat,
a bridge
between our worlds
so distant at times, almost differently
spaced,
that it seems frequencies are jammed
(the devil does not care,
he is not responsible)
but always,
by all ways
soundvines creep
through the
cracks,
unfurling,
hoisting the colours
over a meeting in the middle,
our skins no more
just a distant face/phase
but time passing
under the bridge,
hours entwined
in heart –
evergreen leaves

Oh wow John this is penned beautifully. For me it takes me back to moments when caring for a loved one with dementia. Love finds away to connect, to find a bridge from time to time in the cracks of time. This truly spoke to me and I felt you brought such a vivid visual to this write. Just perfectly penned poetry x
Thank you, it was actually inspired by a new piece of decoration on the walls of the canteen in the building where I work🤣, but yes, my wife and me, we'd been out of sync for a while and finding our way back... It was written about two month ago. When I saw the decoration the first two lines where there immediately tely, the rest came later... Alas I have no pics of those pieces of decoration, this is a ripped pic fron the Net (for the first time, all others are our own)...
