Together In This

Together In This Outside the night is clear and from my window I can see this row of houses with their lights still on And there are lives in there, meals being eaten and children lay fast asleep I could watch those lights for hours and imagine all those different worlds shuttered away and ready for bedding down Out there alone in the darkness, we are together in this set against time and the gently dissolving silence of the stars Blue midnight, bringing with it the same thing: rooftop silhouettes lit by the beams of passing headlights on the road behind I look and wonder what we might all be doing here and what might become of us in five, ten years time My son is just a few months old, but already he’s beginning to age We have a future me and him, and his hungry blue eyes shine with a burning vibrancy Our lives are fused and our time together has already settled into a weightless concentric ellipse Parallel lines of trust and meaning, never quite converging but the gaps in between Filled unquestionably with love Mike Davies 2 June 2009 For more like this please visit: http://renegadepoet.wordpress.com/
