Having met you

in Barbados

while

walking

on the beach,

I observed

foamy

blue

water

caressing
your
quiet
feet.

Our eyes
became
entangled
in more
than a casual way

We ended up talking —

walking
down
the
beach

that

day
But
I won’t even front,
even if
I
could

because
it

was

that

God

given
complexion
that
arrested
my
attention
on
that
warm
Bajan
day.
It was
your
countenance
over
conversation
carried

by
the

wind,
It was
your

natural

vibe

reviving
my soul

again

With your

alluding
to

the facts

as

you

understood them

then;

saying….

that I should rise up to confront

life…

And….
that things would turn out better

if I did.

From then to now

and

now

and

then

it

has
been
simply
unspoken

a bond

unbroken
holding us

together

as friends…

Now married to you….

forty years later,

we walk together

again…

Having met you
on

a
beach
in
Barbados.

End.

For Lisa my only friend
