some things there are that were not meant for sharing. the sea at dawn, grey gulls against grey sky, a lonely wind, the rain i should be caring;for things that might be yours and mine;the shy and gentle laughter of a child;a nest of humming birds,and in the trumpet vine where none but we shall know; pigeons abreast and telling secrets;quail walking in a line like children bound for church;all these may be spoken of safely,shared,recalled.But i,i have been stung by salt spray of the sea,i have been bound within the seagulls cry.before these things i could not have you say,"How nice",and take my hand and turn away.
