Paul Bell Poet Free verse

Undergrowth with two figures

He remembered seeing the couple
Walking
In the woods
Hand in hand
It was an image that would stay with him forever
The couple
In the woods
There had been no sign of them
The couple
Hand in hand
Walking
In the woods
He remembered a time
When he held her hand
Walking
In the woods
It’s been a long time
Since they've seen the couple
Hand in hand
In the woods
He would cherish that time
He spent with her
Walking in the woods
Hand in hand
Hand in hand.
