An Eternal Tune Poem by Hazel Durham
An Eternal Tune
We breathe in the County Laois air,
As we walk down the long avenue without a care,
Two best friends side by side,
Remembering our humble lairs,
As we approach the end of the avenue
We know we both care
About our past of lively, young girls
Steeped in riding racehorses, that was our destiny, our course
Of lots of fun in the sun,
Even in the rain
Slanting across the untamed Heath,
Freedom without a worry, without a chain
Of responsibilities, we found the same heartbeats,
As we danced to the birds chorus in the early dawn,
The caravans are now gone,
Just an empty space filled with a lingering essence
Of energy, emotions kicking at the rules,
We laughed like the sun always shone,
Splashing in the garden pond
With summer's rays of courage found
Richard, Tommy, Nootsy, Joey and I,
Riding racehorses down country roads with our endless chatter,
The breeze was our companion that matters,
The trees guarding our presence,
The birds our chorus of dreams,
Living was a gift always with the promise of the sun,
But great sadness was going to be part of our future,
As my best friend Nootsy and Richard passed away too soon,
On never forgotten days of being young an eternal tune,
I still go back to the Heath House in my dreams,
Walking beside my best friend down the long avenue,
With the white Georgian house glistening in the County Laois light,
I hold memories like treasure held so tight,
They are God's Angels making their imprint a glorious sight,
As the land merges with the past it is the mystique of the night,
They dance underneath the glow of the stars and the moon
Listening to the beauty of their eternal tune.
Treasured memories lie deep in the hearts core Rachel.... To dedicate a poem to your friends is the ultimate respect You can show them. Past happiness and sadness are tangible in this beautiful poem. Great piece of work! !
So well-written! I could have been walking amid you and your friends, tasting the air of your country, joking and laughing with everyone... sounds similar to my own youth except we did rodeos and playdays. Those were the days, weren't they? I'm glad you shared them with us, shared them with us, such things enrich our lives. 10
Certain places invoke sweet memories in us and we wonder if we can ever go back to those days of hearty laughter and careless fun! I can very well relate to this poem....! Those two friends who left this world prematurely leave in your heart painful memories! As you walk along with your friend now, you imagine those departed friends to be angels, dancing in the glow of stars and the moon! I enjoyed reading the poem, especially the closing stanza!
