Pirates and Peacocks

Pirates And Peacocks. Here is a story told of an encounter, a sharing, and then a parting. The poet reflects upon "what might have been" and nostalgically relates "what really was". Moments of intimacy, many have shared, are poignantly protraied in Richard Harris's sensitive and moving poem. It is a story that will be read, re-read, and cherished, ever remaining vivid and sentient in the hearts of those readers who also treasure splendid days when "Wind would come feeling two faces as one and when footprints in the sand had been holding." hands
