Constance La France Poet Rispetto

Our Destiny

 
I pass those old pine trees in the park often,
where we liked to just lay talking-   holding hands;
I stood frozen when they lowered your coffin,
now just a sad girl with tangled hair who stands.
You would so love it this year my darling,
everything is quite green and lush and serene;
there is a bird song-   oh, it is a starling _
this destiny I could never have foreseen.

Inspiration "Under the canopy of the pine trees we lay"
_a line by Eve Roper
