Grasshopper
We were not parted
By that final breath,
When what we were as one
so grimly cleft in two.
Our joyous explorations
Of wood and field and sea
Are ended now for you,
But not for me.
My single salutations
Of track and beach and tree
Are simply homage now
to all our memories,
But in those sole steps taken
A message oft appeared
The day you left
When piercingly bereft
A grasshopper
Came near
Alighted and
Would not be moved
Steadfast it stayed
Would not be shaken
Until I’d proved
That I was not mistaken.
Grasshoppers can only leap one way,
Forwards.
Move forwards she said
And as you tread
boldly through
Our space,
My face may be forever gone,
But I am always with you
as you and I move on.
