Hello My Love Poem by James Wakelin

Why did I fall in love yesterday
when it should have been a year
and school was out
and childrens love
winging to the top
apopalyptic gaze
rented my soul for a minute

but I chose later love
the fruit of my worship
the world has some place for me
it didnt save the rest
time was the healer for girls and boys
we didnt wait to grow
up
we decided to manufacture life
in a series of rapid jumps and crossovers
too much to keep
so we threw it away
to sparkle down stream later
in peace and quiet
where growth can take place
redeemed
