Avalon - parallel worlds

Mystical island floats
Monochrome
On another lake life

I am not here

[We are sitting in Valvona and Crolla With all the rich vibrancy of an old Italian deli Surrounded by the excitement Of an anniversary in the City]

The disappearing path lengthens
Into a grey distant eternity
And its certain colourless vanishing point.
My pace labours
And slows to a stop
Mirroring all those moments
Of here before.

[A glass of prosecco raised Bright sparkling bubbles pop and fizz, Each an evaporating moment Lost to time]

You look ashen

The encroaching damp
drizzly fog of dread
Shrouds Derewentwater
December birthdays made for this.
A day born for this day.

[Holding hands on the Royal Mile Full of the colour of living, The world is all around us]

So much more real than here

It feels as though this
moment will last forever
So in the moment
That no other moments are possible
It looks timeless
'love is more thicker than forget'
As the wind rushes down the lake
Scattered
It takes your breath away.
