We gift one another Ample breathing space To stretch the heavens And earth between Our waists To render our thorn Incapable of harm Life as eternal summer Soft shadow of looks Cast behind us Carry the weight Of expectations Where does your caravan Take you, chasing sunsets? In our sundowning years Will we hold on Till each a feather? Strength yours to mine Tussling fine fair heads Offspring of better dreams Each day carefully measured From blink to downy rest Smiles spark inhaling Lines of chatter Cascading like glitter Observe the many watchful ways I notice your sunlight From within Bask in it
Jill of all trades Lifesaver, dawn breaker Pool pacer Hearth watcher Ball catcher Friend to hidden Worlds unknown Just debator Navigator Peacemaker Unveil hidden Latent potential Me first Then you
Only time can elucidate The depth of blue Storms dissipate Pulling confused debris Out to sea Endless treasures beneath Though not a coin Exchanged No ill-gotten gain Wilderness reserve Sustained our futures' sake Fables, myths and legends Barely touch the surface Canon of heartfelt Love in its place Delivered in waves Washed ashore Upon fate's call We might meet In this place First, dip the toe Wade to rocky outcrop Float to surface Let the affect Carry you away A bond ever-giving Calling me to stay
Passing decades ripple down River washing away debris I stand willingly Against tide and storm Rising up Seemingly to test resolve Another decade cold feet Bury deeper into ground Toes tickled by roots Holding me fast Another few and my time Will be past With only the memory Of those I sheltered Whether they be ghosts Dreams, or heroes At last
