A few words from Mary Walker

Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.

This DP leads me to a sadness I have no wish to relive today.

So, as I love to do when there is an empty page below, I will fill it with words of others…

By Mary Walker, a contemporary poet from New Zealand

Freed

It was when the sun broke through
and danced through every raindrop,
turning gloom into something transcendent,
that I wondered
what if all that’s hard
just washed away?

What if the light came down
and freed us all
from guilt, regret and second-guessing?
What would there be
except light shining through water,
and each of us dancing?
