From yesterdays winds
an old stranger blew in,
totally unannounced,
wearing a sardonic grin.
And in that last moment
left to savour,
locked in forever,
as if a favour
came a haunting echo;
almost a semi quaver!
But no hope was there
to ever save her.
….and at the end,
waiting in the wings,
was the face of that stranger;
one of her wartime flings!
‘Life not much different
to earth’ she thought,
reflecting on the gospels,
she had been taught.
No getting away from
her chequered past.
No cloth to wipe clean the slate,
that now in stone cast.
Then floating next to her soldier
appeared her partners face,
and just like two tadpoles,
they hovered in space.
And then they were joined
by many, many more!
All familiar faces,
on this bottomless floor.
And then, to her horror,
she saw she was the same;
her head, all she had left
of her old earthly frame!
With this realisation, a thought
crossed through her mind.
‘There’d be no adultery committed’
she was relieved now to find.
But before she could bade
all the tadpoles a goodbye,
her guardian angel took her by the ear,
and winked with one knowing eye!
