Lindsay Laurie Poet Rhyme

Contact

I could be strolling on a river bank,
or sitting in a managed park.
I could be walking on a saltbush plain,
or where soil is parched and stark.
I could be climbing Perry sand hills;
be shaded by a Wilga tree. 
I will never be there on my own - 
we’re still in contact; you and me.

I could be gazing at a rainbow arc,
or clouds billowing to rain.
I could witness lightning and thunder;
stroll on a sun drenched plain.
I could see a stumpy tail upon the tar;
a mob of grazing kangaroo.
I will never be there on my own - 
we’re still in contact; you and me.

I will never be there on my own - 
we’re still in contact; you and me.
We talk about adventure that we had -
it seems I’m talking to nobody.

Eve Roper April 16, 2020 at 2:37 AM I like the way you set the scene of pondering, as I do once in awhile. I always wanted to do things with my husband, but we never did. He had already spent 20 years overseas. But I still share all the wonderful things we did together now, even though he is gone.
