Golden Union

*Inspired by photo Under the golden leaves of fall A table waits for us to sit Quiet moments for time to stall Shared in this space, where love is lit By the light of color and trust Solitude wraps us like a shawl Our meeting is righteous and just Open union without a wall Taking your hand, I remind you How simple connecting can be Even with all we have been through We float like a leaf from a tree An outside place with nothing more Is ours to share with words or none Reaching us to our very core To sit and let the rest be done Heidi Sands 9/26/18
