Benches - a photo on Flickriver

Benches

            The soft tread of your footsteps
Behind me
Did not surprise me
That winter's day.
Then glancing sideways
I saw the rebel
Now walking beside me.

Disappearing behind trees,
The sun tried to listen in,
But you said nothing.
So he conspired
And the snow began to fall.

You led me to shelter
Under a tree
And the flakes fell from your hair
Like gemstones,
But all we wanted
Was to walk in the open
Once more. 

We were still some way from home
When you told me who you were.
Freedom, you said.
And one day I would understand.

Years later I still walk that path
Dappled with shadow
In the sun, storm and snow,
Waiting to meet you again.
But I never do.
Even so, I remember you fondly.
