What will you do now with the gift of your left life? ...

I climbed up the spiral stair to the belvedere -

Below me was the beautiful inscrutable sea - 

The shadows of clouds moved slowly across the waves - 

Dark birds dived for fish - 

I'd walked here, under the shining leafless trees - 

At the foot of one tree, crocuses splashed colour upon the earth - 

February sunlight warmed lichened stone - 

Below me, beyond the winding stair, were carved words from a poem by Carol Ann Duffy - 

What will you do now with the gift of your left life? -
