Description
This is a very personal piece for the artist, dedicated to his late wife (1972-2005). Poem of the same name.
Our Secret Place
I remember all the little things,
once forgotten
now treasures quietly preserved,
memories of You.
The grove of Dogwoods still stands,
casting light amongst the forest elms,
Autumn’s glow
across the purple bench where we first met.
Sweet serendipity.
I visit you there
and each captured moment.
From time to time, we laugh and wonder
why were all the silly arguments so dire?
Our heart flows joyful tears,
watching
our Little One growing wiser every day.
You’d be proud of the woman she’s become.
She has kept you close
to her heart
your gift: the smile
just for her.
Beloved, I do not want to leave this place,
Yet the light piercing
through the trees beckons
a new start.
I must leave you now, but I will visit again,
soon
in our little cutaway, and laugh,
cry
and remember
our secret place,
the purple bench, and love
where my world changed forever.
