The couple

They've come, they've come!

On time as always, 

In pairs as they used to. 

Not a word, not a sound, 

So familiar their path a homebound.

Rain or shine - they kept up a mundane. 

Yet an aberration one day, 

Came alone like a castaway. 

Slowly the sight faded away. 

I still hold onto their routine, 

As the thoughts time back everyday.
