Ken Allan Dronsfield – 1 poem 

Where

I seek some remembrance today;

staring at that gaudy wallpaper

hung with care in our bedroom.

I wonder if you’re finally at peace;

days roll slow, thoughts come and go

in this lonely, cathartic lifetime.

This abysmal and debilitating age;

can a serene existence be found

or must I survive with this queasy,

innocuous ameliorate daily?

Feel a boisterous folly during days

as spring’s cascading rain brings

childish recollections of happiness.

Come visit me in a soft whisper;

dancing with me rocking slowly

as a coolish hazy misty loving spirit.

Meet me at the old frog pond where

our chairs sit empty in stoic repose as

the sun rises above the trees to the east.

Hence, I’ll take one more breath this day,

and you…..you are….where?
