DANCING, WITH AN AUDRY HEPBURN SMILE
Caught in the trapped space
Between today and glorious memories.
Acute dimension of recollection
Distorting the current view –
Casting faces in transferred images.
The girl passing takes on an expression
Reminiscent of love gone by.
The mountain trail doesn’t glow
Quite as magically as before
And those ocean waves
Seem tame and predictable
Unlike previous terror
When our tent was suddenly engulfed.
A rogue wave rolled over us
With young love keeping us afloat.
We came west
Until we ran out of road
Depositing us on a long perfect beach.
The nightly roar of the sea
Accompanying our laughter and delight.
Free at last, we thought
No more tyranny
Lives made
And lives lost.
An emerging soul
Patient, composed
Accepting the cavern
Where love leaves us
When the other is dust
Except for the images
That play on the walls –
Sometimes dancing with an Audrey Hepburn smile 200513.1
