I REMEMBER LOVE

The familiar allure
Of Eddie Stobart
Hauling the night
Mid-country

Red tail lights
Like Christmas
In flickering rain

The confident probability
Of a Chrylser Cruiser

Then the dark aloneness
Of the open
Motorway

I remember love

Innocent
Intent
Translucent

Young couples 
Mutual self-giving 
Everything

Determined

To succeed
Even destined

With the elevated
Blessing of the One
True Lover

Making the journey
Worth while

And all self-emptying
Fruitful
