11 years ago today my friend Rhiannon flew across the country to be with me. She wrote me this poem, in honour of me and blue denim day.
Blue Denim
Strange day…
I have travelled 3000 miles
Her hand to hold
Warm in my own
as I remember, always
To sit awhile
To pray…
While she slumbers,
Dreams unnatural dreams
And wakes to find the world has changed…
For want of better.
And I will sit…
Here
Silent in my prayers
For however long it takes…
Forever
And blue denim I will wear for you.
