All we have achieved
all we have lost
all we have forgotten
dwells in us still
keeps us awake
gives us headaches
causes outbursts of temper
and longing for love
love is our garden
with its nutritious plants
seeds
and weeds
those weeds that sprung up
when no-one was looking
who cares?
it's not a rhetorical question
it's on every shelf
we try to hide among
accounts of adventure
achievement
may get tucked at the back
one day
if we stop looking for the right book.
