In the Future
Stand Alone Poem
And the soil turns to sandstone
Among the rolling hills
The distant cries of songbirds lark
The agapanthus amongst the fields
Under thick hardened blue gum
Red picnic mat we lay
With grapes and soft hand in mine
We`ll watch our two kids play
For thou spirit brings good measure
And kindness through the years
As we grow up through our lively hoods
Grown-up from childhood fears
And I`ll smile my small childish grin
With humour and some purpose
As you look into my blue-green eyes
Together, exquisite, Imperfect
Long lost words we now could say
Break the ice, don’t be afraid
I miss you, in every way
No matter how much we stand to pay
But the cheesiness
Becomes insecurity
And the dark, star sparkled stage
Becomes much brighter than we
Remember it
And in the light, we`ll stay
Awake.
