SALISBURY JUNCTIONS POEM 12

The sun is up and I continue to write this book.

---

“Yours is the light by which my spirit's born: - you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars.” E.E. Cummings

The Broad

Come with me my love,

Away from the harsh eyes of others,

Less gentle in their ways,

Unforgiving in their prejudice.

They do not know us,

It is not their secret that we keep,

They cannot forgive,

For it is not their shame pushed aside.

There is no retreat,

For love is not bound by others,

But a sacred pact based on truth,

We simply hold it.

Come with me my love,

Into the depth of night complete,

Where we may love,

Away from the prying eye.

“Laughter is a sunbeam of the soul.” Thomas Mann
