Grantchester

 

Grantchester

That year it was spring forever
so that when we stood in the
water meadows all around us
was white, bursting with possibility.

And if I could be there again, today,
I would lift you in the June breeze,
and breathe until the air was filled
with love, and hope, without regret.

    Andrew, that is so incredibly lovely I don’t really have words. I read it four times just to smile and sigh each read 🙂
