WAVES
            All Soul’s Day 
          2nd November 2020

Our hands wave 
for our hellos.

In walking
in talking
in holding hands
we take the other hand
to hold
to be held.
We are both held by the other.

In the silence between us
the sound of lapping waves
then the cresting and crashing
names written in sand are washed away
a return to silence.

In holding hands 
in walking
in talking
we take the other hand
we hold
we behold 
we don’t hold on.

We are all held by another.

We let the hand go
We wave goodbye.

“Good night, God bless, safe home.”
