Whitethorn

 

Sometimes you come

from what is now a long time ago,

and you are smiling;

that was a different world,

and your smile belongs to then.


But it is no coincidence

my remembering on the first of June

when the fields are a flood of lush green growth,

the hedgerows a celebration in whitethorn,

a lively champagne or, perhaps, unrestrained happiness.
