Old Ways

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ old couple leaving the Sunday markets at Rosebud, Mornington Peninsula
~

They walked in their own world
Living their own reality
Clasped in the hand of each other
As they journeyed
To and
From
The Sunday markets
~
They travelled light
Both ways
~
The lady seemed to walk
With princess elegance
In spite of an old
Ragged
Royal blue shawl ~
Thinning
Long black dress and
Well worn
Overworn
Boots
~
The man had an unmistakeable wisdom
Locked away beneath
A bushy mop of grey hair and
Wild beard ~
I know ~ for
He spoke a few words
Softly ~
Enough to imply
He was cultured
In ancient ways ~
Very ancient ways ~
And she simply answered
With a dazzling
Understanding
Smile
~
I last saw them
Standing by an old
Battered
Once white
Ute
~
He wrestled to open the stubborn door
For his precious passenger ~
Then graciously
Helped her inside
Like a gentleman
~
