#TOGETHERNESS
The dice of togetherness then was cast. Life was suddenly warm cosy sublime. Intense, hectic, priceless but fleeting fast Were the honey-sweetened moments of Time. The tide rose, the tide fell, all over soon For us to remember what is no more. Memory is both a curse and a boon. It does bring some pearly jewels ashore. Our world this is a seething boiling pot And we are specks agitated in it. We know not wherefrom whereto we are shot Or perchance approximated a bit. For those great little moments we owe so much To That Greatest Hand and Its Generous Touch.
A disjointed sonnet written in bewilderment of pleasure and pain, loss and gain, but in memory of your visit to your native land. 1979
