You turn the page; a date jumps out
Desk diary jolts your mind, you pause
You look again – there is no doubt
Vows exchanged - both his and yours …
What happened? It was long ago
Those fragrant freesias you recall
That day in April had a glow;
You really thought you had it all.
Alas, it was not meant to be
A clash of cultures proved too much
You decided therefore to break free
As new horizons promised much…
The dream dissolved and life moved on
Time saw the parting of the ways
But at that moment the sun shone
And even now - the memory stays …
(c) Poet in the woods 2024
A bunch of beautiful freesias!
