    Cracked Pavements

    2012

    The pavement blocks are neatly square
    Yet sometimes cracks appear
    That does not mean the ground we share
    Will cave in to our fear

    Our life is not a spreadsheet
    Nor days like numbered cells
    There is no sum when hearts meet
    Nor code to break love spells

    The branches of a tree diverge
    The roots spread deep and wide
    Yet water and sunlight converge
    Like beaches and the tide
