ANNIVERSARY
Climbing into one side of the narrow bed,
stretching out beside you
-- we lay together in the cool morning
of the hospital room—
Meanwhile, dawn crawling over the parking lot outside,
light remembering itself in the room,
and you turned,
speaking from withdrawals of sleep,
'Fifty years just isn't enough! .'
Concise, lovely and passionate. A beautiful love poem, very heartfelt. Thanks for sharing Jack and do remain enriched.
Yes fifty years of time is not enough. Speaking from withdrawals of sleep is an amazing act. Wonderful poem is very brilliantly penned....10
