It’s Time

written by: Ivor Steven

We’ll miss you
Mother Earth
Your splendour
And imposing style
From forest canopies
To the desert Nile
New creations
Beauty, gone

We’ll lose you
Father Time
Your rhythm
And stoic guile
From ancient history
To the future files
New millennia
Awaiting, gone

But there it was, the same faded newsstand by the side of the dockyard. Here, she was found alone in a Moses basket on day seven. A retired fisherman, old man Jake heard her high-pitched cries. He took some convincing but his wife Aida claimed her. Their children had long left the nest, and so she became theirs.
Miriam sat on the bench next to the newsstand, watching the waves rocking the fishing boats as the sun set in the distance. Why here of all places? This tired and unloved dockyard in the edge of the world. She thought she’d feel better coming here. Henry had walked out after ten years together. It was brutal and unexpected and she was doubting everything again...
