COMPASSION | YOUR POEMS & STORIES Another year! by Emma Gibbons And as the sun sets earlier And the nights get colder And the trees shed their crimson dresses onto the paths It is like an exclamation mark is hanging in the night sky Lit up by the stars ✨ Whispering, another year is about to close Another year of seasons, waiting for the full stop To mark the closure Yet for us with loved ones as Angels in the clouds ☁️ The exclamation mark still hangs, and we never get the full stop Because love & grief are never ending And although the seasons change And although another year passes Our hearts are still suspended between the stars ✨ and the earth we walk on When we get our full stop, like the year gets hers, It will mean our years will have come to an end There is a bridge it Brings your world to me I’m naming that bridge Serendipity A bridge long and wide With junctions and lanes Bursting with music Showered with names People and places Coincidentally Support each other Serendipity A bridge of compassion To walk beside friends Bonded through heartbreak The link never ends There is a bridge Joins your world with me Augmented with love Serendipity Serendipity by Safina Powell
