Poem
In a moment of magic I once gave her a juicy innocent peach Not yet knowing that she harboured a sweet nascent dream In which as a youngster she knew that she would marry the one Who handed such a fleshy gift to the gypsy Queen of Fairy Land Bestowed upon her by night’s prophesy she carried the vision of Requited love and blissful peace brought by subconscious longing And spiritual clarity of a Higher Power submerged in compassion A passionate fruit with soft skin and one huge seed of togetherness We eloped together into a new dawn The doomsayers had a field day as they harvested bitter doubts ‘It will only last a couple of months and the peach will turn rotten’ ‘You cannot feed on clairvoyant oracles and meek pagan beliefs’ ‘They are deluded insane and caught up in misguided romance’ They called her a witch a seductress and labelled me irresponsible With so much at stake painted pictures of broomsticks and failure While we had found the jewel in a haystack without even searching And set fire to the past as we danced naked around a fire of passion We knew the truth of intuitive feeling One can never be sure what lies at the end of paths never taken Whether road blocks and diversions belittle emotions and faith But they who ignore heavenly signs forfeit adventure and truth Stay stuck in spent time and hail its dubious comfort at their peril We travelled and found a small hut on the beach out of sight Collected starfish and driftwood and caressed wounded souls Carved wedding bands out of sea shells and called upon dolphins To witness our marriage surfing along happily ever since then A cormorant applauded the feast Under a star studded canopy on the miraculous shore of belonging We never strayed from what intuition and feelings offered for free Meandered on the shoreline and set our sails into a magical ocean Tasted the salt of a mindful earth and soothed our recovering minds Never questioned the wisdom of our union shared by hungry souls Treasure pleasure and joy weathered powerful storms and all tides The cosmos donates all we ever need once we are willing to navigate Waves and effervescence sparkling desire and in our case a peach Leading the universal way 13th May 2020
