Thoughts Poem by Mick Law

I saw a boy climbing an oak tree, he conquered the monarch of the woods and I found thought of you
Jupiter and Venus and a crescent moon flooded into binocular lens and you were there, astounded
I felt the spring sun break from its misty winter den and warm us both together but apart
I stood barely breathing as darting chaffinches blazed colour at me from background green and you gasped aside me.
I stood alone and the months stood behind yet you were ahead and I smiled
