Look At Us

Look At Us

you saved my life

one evening beneath the stars

no signs to guide us

just your clever words

your confidence

keeps balance in the world

I am again with you today

saving your life in the sun

with the lure of writing

opening up before us

the wide expanse of the sea

the broad flight above the bay

between earth and cloud

between space and wet sand

we are right to marvel

we are right to travel

forward

together

look at us

look at you

look at me

our voices loud and laughing

sailing off beyond a mast of trees

mapping out colors with wings

skimming the tops of our heads

by some saving grace of heart

of starry nights and sunny morns

our presence upon this surface

faces the glory of light in which

we are made

My wonderful writer friend Haley will probably kill me for posting this but I found it today and feel like it needs to be shared.  She and I did a writing exercise based on the enclosed photo and mine came to me poem form.

I am working on 'Burden' and this sort of melted my heart thinking of my characters and their circumstances. It seems as fitting as it does opposing.  Eventually that will make sense, as in, when my story is complete.

I hope she will forgive me, after all, I'm pretty cute.

In propinquity,

Nic
