The World Goes Still by Devi Nina Bingham

Every tree reaches

All waves move forward

And sunlight floods the beaches

Even lazy clouds move shoreward


But the world goes still

The moment I think of you


The mirror records holidays you have missed

My hair's gone grey and my shuffle is weighty

As I give the dog you left a kiss

Before you know it, I'll be turning eighty


But the world goes still

The moment I think of you


You live in a timeless place

If only I could see your face.
