A love story.
Mary Harkins beckons from yon hill raven black hair bouncing on her shoulders slender figure there in paisley dress sixty years nigh on, she's been gone young lovers were we laid out life's plans there, 'neath that mighty oak she and me weeks before our ceremony to wed aged not yet twenty-one the miseries laid my fair love, Mary dead I buried her there 'neath that mighty oak on yon hill and so on this day she's come to say my love 'tis time for you to join me above our love and plans we'll resume our home we'll build 'neath that mighty oak on yon hill above the clouds so high you and I, my love happy forever, above lend me your hand Mary my love lead me there

Beautifully crafted...and so touching indeed. But does that mean you can never have love in time or when in dire need ?
Great to read your work after a long time...yeah i'd been away and rather got too busy with my usual chores.
Keep giving us more of such kinda stukff.
Love ........bye.... neerja.

The gentleness and directness of the telling make this poem wonderful
and avoid the pitfalls of too much sentimentality. Thank you, Jon.

I hope this is just poet license. If not, it's the tragic stuff of poets make.
