I was thinking of poetry companions last night and wrote this, for Josephus and Griffoner.

All Souls Shall Arise
Suddenly, or so it seemed to us
all our todays became no longer
our tomorrows when we stood
together hand in hand while
looking over the sea wall to
where the tide was ebbing out,
taking with it our little ship
of future promises, its cargo
packed tight as our future plans,
just needing to offload to happen.
And that little ship is ourselves,
entire, enfolding all that’s gone;
depending not upon our whims
for the regenerative sea returns
you and me to where we shall
be born again, as a new life that
we won’t know, being not then
ourselves, and yet still reborn
upon the new oceans morning.
Then all souls shall arise and
find in life eternities sunrise.
