Spa Tek

It’s more than Larkin’ about

Twice in one week sweet peas arrive
Clutched in smiling hands, precious gifts
Two wondrous women, one supports God
The other requiring scientific explanation
Bring flowers to my door

An old fool dismisses such trinkets while
His soul smiles as the bounteous perfume
Wafting at dreams that cannot be realised
So the restless spirit moves on
Is that too much to give?

We travel through time towards decay
Days slip by without notice
As new life replaces old
Fresh energy springing from the womb
Does yesterday need to live?

Indubitably for it provides energy
For all our tomorrows
And, as the scientist will say
Energy never dies
What will god say to that?
