Divorce

Kangaroo .

Queensland.

Let me just give you a taste of a great Australian Poet, Who still rocks my boat, after all these years. 

H. Lawson.

Two couples are drifting the self same way.

Men of the world know best.

From the ballroom glare, as the night grows grey.

Men of the world can tell.

Many are around them who knew and know. 

But men of the world are blind.

That couple in front has nought to do

with the couple that comes behind.

The women starts on her partners arm,

for reason he could not tell,

She trips and she laughs the society laugh.

That men of the world knew well.

If she laughs too suddenly or talks too fast,

We are deaf as well as blind.

Twas only the ghost of the girlish days.

When she married the man behind.

He feels the pain where his heart had been,

for reasons he cannot tell.

A spasm that mar's the cynical smile.

That men of the world knew well.

A spasm that's known in society

and many men out of the hunt.

Twas only the ghost of his boyish hopes,

When he married the women in front.

And the man in front and the women behind

Oh society smile and bow.

They are too well bred to ask even in thought,

What has come to their partners now.

But the couples drift in society's stream to 

the kerb where two cabs wait.

It was all because of what others had said,

and a word that was spoken too late.

It was a different time,
but it still makes me take a deep breath, 

did it touch you?

Poetry is my echo, calling to me to dance,
The dance of life.
