Friendship – poem

 

There is a

 sweetness in

friendship

like the honey taste

of pulled grass.

 

Warmth and growth

shared.

 

Years from now we’ll

remember

how it was . . .

Almost Aspen Grove,

a Sacrament of light,

high and burning

colour, autumn air,

a cricket orchestra and

Scottish thistles,

blue ones – see?

 

And around, all around,

the mountains

looking as if ancient fingers

folded them.

 

The Temple, Carma.

We almost lost it!

Then there it was,

honey and cream limestone

clean and fabled

on its own hill.

 

Man built Manti

God built Aspen Grove

 

Years from now we’ll remember

both

Temples

Shared friendship

and the many kinds

of light.
