branch by branch

branch by branch

trimmed

such that the beauty

of the lime tree

can be seen

from the meditation seat


more will be revealed

as further cut-backs occur

a new landscape

will be formed

by the labours of love


fresh vistas

with joyous celebrations

of wild flowers

beside open water

altogether caught

by the veritably

warm and welcoming

soft rays of sunlight

their landscapes though

their landscapes though

remain the same

as if in time

on the sands

their sunrise

rises at dawn

or on the moors

their sunset

sets at dusk

the reason of which is love

if on the other hand

if on the other hand

she makes the statement

i no longer want to be your lover

but i could be your friend

to which he instantly responds

i cannot do that i have to leave

in those moments

an irretrievable breakdown occurs

the cause of which is love

an eternal situation

an eternal situation

she asks the question

do you want to stay

to which he answers

do you want me to

in those moments

a lasting connection is made

the bond of which is love

our third setting

our third setting

this time using imagination

it is a village fair

down the hill around the green

there are no dodgems

for this is a community affair

with coconut shies and ducking stools

families gather

with and without introspection

some together and some set apart
