Echoes

Published by MOODSWING Issue 8 - July 2003,

PANDA No:16 - October 2003

*PROMISE* - by Vivien Steels ©2003

 

The echo of ourselves -

a lifetime in love -

indestructible if we persevere

for the next song,

poem, picture, person, saint,

all sent specially for us,

all devices made to reach us

as day falls through stained glass

tracing sunlight to heaven.

 

Separate from food and drink

(that dependable magic)

our spiritual elixir, energising,

blessing our bodies with peace -

peace, travelling along green-shadowed paths,

joy, spiralling into blueness of blue sky,

love, enfolding our hearts with

echoes of a lifetime.
