Nic 15 June 2021

We are but a pause in the beating heart of the universe, a glance over the shoulder, a half-smile, a breath, a whisper -

We are glimpsed for a moment in the crowded market-place, a bright red cloak disappearing among the throng, slipping away between the houses.

A kaleidoscope splinters colours...

Our breath, our moment - the cry of a baby, the laugh of a child, a horse on a long pale road stretching towards the horizon.

A scattering of white doves in the dusty air.
The red kite soars...

      We reach out and touch
            fingertip to fingertip
                  and still the universe...
