Poignant Perch
Upon the horizon is a perch on which to poise perfectly
It' looks 'just right'
No one wants to settle for a second rate view
A bench laid in rememberance for someone called Maud who most never knew
Her memories are splayed out on the vast ocean of time
But feelings stay
New memories will be made here
Transient and brief
There is little cure for the brutality of mortality
That's what we all must endure
Best to drink in the moment
Satiated by the sea

Hi Emma,
Nice poem;raises feelings common to all. 'A bench laid in rememberance for someone called Maud who most never knew'
