HOTEL PARADISO

 

From their hotel restaurant

The couple sat at a table

Admiring the view

It was an unfamiliar view

With just a hint of familiarity

Like recognizing the features

Of a very distant relative

This was where the couple

Spent there honeymoon

When they were young and fearless

They were old now

Liver spotted and weary

Married when god was a boy

And the world was young

They sat in silence

Everything said before

Gazing though the window

He wondering what lay ahead

She where the years had gone

They held hands

And their eyes met

No words were spoken

But they understood

And they were content
