Sunday Morning

We spoke of you and our eyes leaked, we remembered you and we smiled and hugged, our eyes moist and we embraced on a Sunday morning.

We knew words, but they remained quiet, reflective and huddled against the back-drop of more than thirty years of friendship.

We whispered pictures of you and familiar with the love-magic that you wove into every word you wrote,

We recognised the tender silence, the beautiful pause that fell between us on this Sunday morning and we shook hands and knew the world had been changed forever.
