We Won'T Live Forever Time Limited Offer To Dave

I wish we could
sit in a soft field 
of flowers and bask
in the sun on our
faces-I'd do it alone and
think of you and what
you would say in the
inspiritational message-
the sharing in the simplicity,
in the humaness of the 
moment-in the sheer 
joy to be in a warm
place---safe for a moment.
 
I can set up the scene,
the characters, the dialogue,
We will not live forever,
Lost time in a debit, 
account held against
small core savings.

In the end will it be
"enough" that we--I -tried?

Will there be credit for
the tenacity? Or are we
selling finely carved and
cheap plastic security? 

(Written by my Ex wife sometime during our 36 yr relationship.)

Ndaba Sibanda November 30, 2013 at 9:07 AM A poem that looks simple from a distance. Questions that beg for answers. l went through the poem and discovered that its depth and scope called for another reading. Dave, good piece.
