I hold a photograph
of a bench
in my hands.
A bench, amongst wild grasses,
where I once put pen to paper,
where poetry and anticipation
flowed.
A bench,
solitary on a cliff top
with views as wide as the sky.
I sigh.
And remember.
And then forget.
I am here now,
sitting on another chair.
I will not go back
to that bench
ever again.......
And by the way they removed the inscription before they moved the bench.

Fran, I do believe that the three poems that I've just read could be grouped together - a little trio of letting go. Your bench is poignant. Your love for that which is lost is evident. And yet your determination to honor yourself, shines through. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
