A Poem for Hazel – Ronnie Goodyer (from Reach Poetry 121)
There are sometimes deep dark despatches
and sometimes blood can flow freely over memories.
That’s when you listen to the opinions of the soul,
and watch how quickly the heart will follow.
Then the drying mud of the woods yield
bright stones, leading to the leaning fields
and an awakening of fresh air in tired lungs.
It’s the moment to write a poem for Hazel.
In old age travelling, with beauty I wander.
On the beautiful trail I am, with it I wander
Softness linked to wilderness and bucolic beauty.
A whisper on the pillow that occupies your mind
for days. A whisper that can unlock heavy bolts
and be the key to the morning and all its future colours.
It is possible to put a song in another’s mouth.
It is possible to hear it over many rivers and hills.
You just need to believe it happens in love chronicles.
I walk towards the sound and see my own Greek Naiad
bringing hope through summer to towering autumn.
It’s the moment to cease the blood memories and replace
with the forever changes that only inner love can bring.
It’s the moment to write a poem for Hazel.
Quotations from 'Song on Entering White House’ (Navajo)
