A love in verse

The Greatest Thing

The greatest thing is we are one

And with the fire of joy we glow

The worst thing – you’re unwell, must oh,

Be sadness to eclipse the sun

It seems contrasting lives we lead – 

One lifts the heart, one makes it bleed


And yet I feel, seen from afar,

We must light up the very earth

Around, so bright with joy and mirth

We shine on our good days; hurrah,

For every kiss we’ve ever shared

All loving vows we have declared!


For it is true – we in the sky

Would outshine stars – the sun defy!

Evening Reverie

Your garden – I can hardly see

Under this glooming summer – dusk sky

The stalwart gnomes peer out at me...

Heaven

I strode home through the rec

A fine wintry evening, one star alight

And a lonely plane, in the dimmed blue sky...
