Poetry Time

Forever Changed

© 2014 Dave and Lillian Brummet excerpted from the book Rhythm & Rhyme

Poet Lillian Brummet explains: "This poem was written in Dec. ’11 after a strange dream - once I woke, scrambling for a pen, I began struggling to catch the essence of the dream in this brief poem. ...I chose this poem today because this is our wedding anniversary, and I thought it would be a great way to celebrate our 32 years together so far. ...Love you, Dave!"

Young lad shuffles on cobblestone path

Skipping stones across fields of gold

Eyes focused on the sky

Where scenes of wondrous dreams

Float past like thunderclouds

While carriages clatter by.

…just by chance their eyes met

And he knew – she was the one

He – in torn pants

Sun sweat soaked field clothes

She – sparkled like sun on water

The moment passed before the eye could blink

Yet his life – forever changed.

And she – couldn’t breathe.
