Hand in Hand

On the station overpass where steel meets sky, she holds his tiny hand in hers, steady and warm. Trains rumble below like distant thunder, yet in her quiet grip he fears no height, no storm. Side by side they walk, forever safe in each other’s calm.

Railway Bridge

Railway Bridge

We crossed the station overpass at dusk,

your hand in mine, the trains below us sighing.

Your coat against the iron grey,

your laughter brighter than the signal lights.

That overpass knew every secret that we shared,

every silly song and future dream.

Now I climb it carrying you in my heart,

yet still I feel you walking next to me.

The rails remember. So do I.

Paolo Driussi

 A Light That Lingers

Beyond the boundary of flying time,

your bright smile still comforts me.

You live in the steps of my every day,

like a light that lingers around,

guarded forever in the heart.

Paolo Driussi.
