Being Together

it was a long time ago

That Lynn and I could just be,

Satisfied

Looking at the world

Mindful of what we had done

Together—and apart.

There was no need to inquire further

To recollect

To speculate on what never was

What might have been

What still could be.

Even now when our eyes meet

With her fleeting glance

It is the same

However briefly.

    What a beautiful piece Dad.I like that the glance can refer to common experience without needing to be explained.

    There is much to be said for the silence of understanding. 🙂
