FORGET-ME-NOT

 

 

Endurance is a flower
A bulb in winter’s depth
A rare-repeated wonder:
A sin we must forget.

In this-world-of-my-creation
In this world-of-make-believe:
Cancer, the death of children,
Are falling autumn leaves.

I see a road before me,
A road I walk in vain,
A road through Trawden, Lancashire
A road that has no name.

All roads lead to heaven
And all roads lead to you
And all these roads are empty
Of eyes of deepest-blue.

In all my years of being a wol'er, I have never read a poem as stunningly brilliant as this one John, and I doubt I ever will, unless you raise the stakes-WOW! AND BLOODY NORAH!

P.S. think we've caught the comment repetitive bug John, it happened to me earlier today?
