The minister in silent thought
Among the stone markers
On the misty morning
Frowns his face,
Surveys the flock.
Three years, four years,
I know you still.
Shuffling gently now down
The weedgrown path
His moving hand brushes
The obelisks, the mauseleums,
The taller-than-they-were's.
Ten years, twelve years,
Have you found yet a home?
Pausing at the gate
Turning 'round,
The elms at the edge of the clearing
Shimmer with Northern wind,
The load of winter
Promised the branches.
Twenty-five years,
I wait still to join you.
Her stone is tilted to a wavering angle,
Watersluiced and mosswearing.
The world recedes in the blackness of memory.

I am blushing.
And if you're ever in the states, give me a ring. I love to whisper sweet nothings.
Let me get to know you and it won't be long before I begin whispering sweet somethings. It's a bad habit of mine.
