Today's poet

[Derby Tup]

Sat on the edge,
of a huge vista,
of a fresh start, a new beginning.
What we both wanted,
what we've both wished for

Sat on the edge,
of a dream,
it started off as a dream,
but now it closes ever nearer.
Dreams come true; if you dream hard enough

Sat on the edge,
of an exciting adventure,
so much to share, so much to do.
I'm thrilled for you; thrilled for us.
Who knows where this could lead? Who knows?

Dreams come true; if you dream hard enough

Sat on the edge,

so much to share, so much to do.

Clearly very poignant verses DT. I hope the dream unfolds into that vista for you, when, if, you step from that edge.

Bloody Marvellous then, dreams do come true if you dream hard enough

River

Down by the river, under the trees, love waits for me
to walk from the journeying years of my time and arrive.
I part the leaves and they tods me a blessing of rain.

The river stirs and turns, consoling and fondling itself
with watery hands, its clear limbs parting and closing.
Grey as a secret, the heron bows its head on the bank.

I drop my past on the grass and open my arms, which ache
as though they held up this heavy sky, or had pressed
against window glass all night as my eyes sieved the stars;

open my mouth, wordless at last meeting love at last, dry
from travelling so long, shy of a prayer. You step from the shade,
and I feel love come to my arms and cover my mouth, feel

my soul swoop and ease itself into my skin, like a bird
threading a river. Then I can look love full in the face, see
who you are I have come this far to find, the love of my life.

Carol Ann Duffy from her book Rapture

That is stunning. What a great choice DT. I think I am going to order the book, the other poems you've posted from it have been fabulous too.
