About the Poem
Life can bring such deep sadness, but if a person is dearly loved, nothing can ever truly overwhelm them. So it is with me, loved by my husband.
Drifting |
| by Rosemary J. Gwaltney |
| Out on Elliott bay we Watch an early morning ferry Gliding lazily in, whitecaps in its wake Fog drifting dreamily over the choppy gray water We hold our cups of steaming cappuccino between our chilly hands On the third floor Seattle Public Market cafe as a hungry Sea gull swoops past the windows again - again, Crying, hoping for handouts it wheels for, Diving - easily catching Each in mid-air I remember We had coffee here Half a lifetime ago together Catching each other tenderly in The midst of a wild stream of living Just as we had soda together here Years before that when together We held such youth within Our entwined hands That we believed We knew what Sorrow Was |
