Love's Gate by Emma Akuffo
|
A coincident path
leads to a startlingly old gate
its hinges well used
yet soundless like brand new
A gentle but full breeze
awakens the gate
swings it widely open like heavy eyelids
no longer restrained
Children scramble on and play
as though airborne
Acting out scenes to the rhythm
of unheard melody
Adults lean against
the gate鈥檚 sturdy frame
re-aligning their lives
to oscillate in its time frame.
