A Long Time........

It is ages since I wrote here. So much has happened. It can be quite staggering...mind numbing, the way life can carry us happily along - and then suddenly turn a corner and deal us a swiping blow. Almost a test, to see how resilient we are. How strong is our belief in whatever faith or deity we aspire to.
Anyway, we do carry on.
E is very strong. We can talk about the future. We can enjoy the present. Can't ask for more.

This wee bit of verse I wrote on 17th March, 2006, whilst in Fuerteventura

MY ANAM CARA

What part,
What tiny piece of her is it?
That I hold so dear
So close?
A tiny part that I possess
And call my own.
So small – and yet
Awesome
In its capacity
For such all embracing love.

And yet
A love that seeks not to deprive those who do…
Those who will always…
Nor those that may yet –
love her.
Not to take away from them.

Much, much more.
To add and strengthen.
To be part of those that love her.
But to love her in my way.
Our way.
A reflective need
Each for the other
Encircling
Just a tiny part of her soul
To hold for always.
My Anam Cara.
