Sunday May 4
Two
immortal souls
passed each other
beneath the open sky
In patient dignity
enduring the subtle
unkindness
that the world of human
beings could impose
Silently
on a warm afternoon.
The day grew ever
so slightly brighter.
And a heart rose
in warm shared hope
and steadfast resolve
As the cherry blossums
covered faraway hilltop
in fullest white
in the land of the ancestors
