Sunset 18 October - Louisa Haynes
I watched and I waited
for the clouds to part
for the sun to break through . . . and it did.
I watched and I waited
for someone to look up
for someone to see . . . and they did.
I watched and I saw
the flashing lights of the stadium
the ambulance go past.
I watched and I saw
hoods up against the rain
the hurry at the end of the day.
As I watched I pondered . . . and I prayed . . .
I wondered . . . and I dreamed . . .
I thought . . . and I paused.
As I watched the vigil continued
A presence
A solitary figure.
I watched, I experienced, one amongst many.
We watch together the city full of life.
