Associations

She sat near the fern

On the dew dazzled rock

And gently touched the furled frond,

Lovingly,

Remembering another place,

Another sweetly curled being

Trembling eagerly

With love.

It hurt too much.

Lithely arising

She smoothed her skirt

As memories tugged at her

To stay.

A last loving glance

At the sun dappled glen

Then she briskly turned away,

Thoughts swirling,

To face the loveless glare

Of her future.
