A poem given to me outside Lidl’s

In the land our dreams dwell in

where  creation,love and hate begin;

where swiftly the deep rivers flow

from those lost lands of long ago.

I wander through wild poppy fields

Underfoot the dark earth yields….

I see the flowering fruit trees start

Their blossoms gather round my heart…

I hear the sparrows sing with joy

And bees their busy wings employ.

In those lost lands I saw your face

And so I longed for your embrace.

Earth to earth and ash to ash

Glory,pride and boasting pass.

Stay awhile,my dearest one

Soon I too will be called on.

Nothing lasts but truth is real

Keep to that and your ideals..

Earth to earth, we rest in clay

We must give all self away

Softly on this earth I roam

Seeking yet my love and home,

for until the very end

Love and kindnss may descend.

Soft as wings of butterflies

Tears well up and wet my eyes.

My heart has melted into yours

Thus we grow and die like flowers
