Have You

Have You I’ve been around and about awhile Seen pain cogently hidden by a smile I’ve seen the concluding moments of the day Saw clouds roll away as blue turned to grey Have you? Felt so dearly loved and loved in return Saw joy and tears enough to fill an urn Tasted bitterness incited by a bitter heart Saw compassion enter and acrimony depart Have you? Been blissfully partnered, enough respect to atone Until a parting of my better half, heart turned to stone For a fleeting moment that feeling would remain Felt that comforting sweet assurance, we’ll meet again Have you? Sojourned in Namibia this beautiful blessed land Saw its majestic undulating dunes it’s faraway strand Found in its people an abundance of caring and love Healing virtue hovering over me like a snow white dove Have you? Ultimately my very soul momentously satisfied Realised this was nothing else but grace personified Finally I depart a downward glance till I lose the view I am content we’ve made memories and good ones too Have you?
