Portfolio | Become A Fan The park in which we always played, Seems more beautiful since it was laid With heated pipes and fresh green grass On which the priest would now say mass. The park now stretched across the street Down to the lake where lovers meet. The sun at my back warms me to the core I heard the distant golfers shouting "fore" A little girl sitting astride the life-size lion Leaned forward as a motorcyclist on the pillion. The senior citizens in their accustomed places Watched the sail boats and pulled funny faces. I walk in peace, beautiful peace The wind gently ruffling my fleece. On an evening that's neither Spring nor Winter I head downhill to the harbour. I see the boats all tied up fast And wondered, which one was last To anchor in this safe place Floating with alacrity and grace. As I walked, the stillness of the night Was broken by a scream of fright. A young man who was out this late Returning from his very first date. He screamed again, this time with passion Thinking I was some sort of apparition. I continued walking And heard people talking, But felt that silence on a night like this Defines for me the phrase, "sheer bliss." Share your own writing! - Information on our membership for writers.
