More thoughts of Carol

 

I dreamed, as children often do,

Of journeying to a distant star.

And never thought it possible

In so short a life,

Until, Carol

You came along and loved me.

Then those fantastic seconds

Expanded in a blaze of colour

And my Soul blasted off from Earth

Into a journey through the Universe,

To return after an ecstatic Eternity

To the arms of my beloved.

Head on honey sweet breast

I lie

Happy

With you.
