Bridges
he believed
in the magic
of great love
and wrote about it
in such a way
that it resonated
in the heart of the reader
this notion that two ordinary people
coming from two different directions
one a world traveler and one who’d never been anywhere
could meet
on an ordinary day
in the middle of their lives
and experience an extraordinary love
beyond reasoning
beyond reality
beyond circumstance
“it all fades away”
(Robert James Waller, 77, March 10, 2017)
