There we were
Eating our Sunday Lunch,
Roast loin of pork, apple sauce,
Roast potatoes, carrots and greens
When my wife looked up at me,
“Isn’t it quiet”
She said.
It was,
Couldn’t hear any neighbours,
Only the occasional bird call,
Even our music had finished.
I listened,
Listened to the wonder,
The wonder of the silence,
It was beautiful.
I looked at her,
“Maybe the end of the world has come”
I said,
“And we two are the only ones left”.
If that was the case
My lover and I were there,
We were there together,
Together in Paradise.
