A Welcome Back to Bantry Bay by Una Kelly

Intimacy - agape
Tears dropping by the roundabout
Paint the picture in words

Suburban landscape
Sunday morning returning home from visiting
Father singing his favourite song
Touched my inner being at
ten years old
Overwhelmed by the intimacy and profundity of the moment
Forever etched in time

He too surprised and overcome
Placed his hand
In mutual acknowledgement
Of the enormity and permanency
of the moment

It would sustain absence

Banality
Profundity
Hindsight
A meeting of souls

Tenderness
Hand reassured
Childhood adulthood
Boundaries merged
