company III

Into town towards
people and lights
river high, trees
lit along the banks,
cars and pubs

we sit for the film
stars unravelling for us:
beauty and talent

drive home in the dark -
winding road, woods
on either side, headlights
beam our way

peace, here, during
the day, quiet - 
there is no-one -
often we are silent
comfortable
companion.
