TIME WAS ON OUR SIDE

TIME WAS ON OUR SIDE

We remember those days
Full of sunshine and tenderness,
When the lovely hours
Of shadow and frost bitten glory
Seemed as if they would never end.

When love made the ordinary glorious,
Sending us forever blazing
Into whatever came next.
Wide awake to any small beauty.

Closing our eyes to shadows lounging
On the edge of evening,
Denying darkness of any description,
Wanting only to remember
The colour of flowers,
The brightness of morning
And all of us together.
