Remembrance (For My Gran) Poem by Kevin Parkin

Remembrance (For My Gran)



A plaintive cry
as a sea-bird dips
and planes
high above the
azure blue
of the sea below.
Symphonic waves
pound an even beat
upon the timeless shore
as I find my thoughts
reaching out in an
all too soon
murkiness of remembrance.
And lost in the shadows
of yesterday's security
a jazz cornet wails
in minor chords
whilst the contours
of my mind
expand and contract
as they grapple
with the past;
seeking only to strengthen
the hold on my
memories of you.
