“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through struggle”. Martin Luther King Jn.
We Sat Together
The room went very quiet as we sat together,
it was a pigment of their imagination
that we were perhaps not quite right,
somehow an offence to
the workings of the universe,
but we sat none-the-less
making our mend
one conversation at a time,
bridging the gulf of
someone’s triumphant version of history,
grounding ourselves in each other,
making our paths straight.

Thank you Punam, I find that with the time difference and the quirks of the reader feed I’m always a couple of days behind, I will find it.

You are welcome, Paul. No worries about being late. I used to be late too. I still am, in fact, trying to catch up with other bloggers.

Glad you liked it, sometimes it takes me longer to find a pic than to write the poem.

I do agonise over them. The main reason I choose the picture later is that the poem must stand alone.
