Tracks

We turned
a corner

stepped
outside

the road that
led nowhere:

we turned
a corner
took a leap

up the stair
that promises
tomorrow.

We signed
a pact in
clear air,

you signed
it with your
tears

my signature
was years &
centuries

of trying.

The full moon
lights our backs,
a lone star

leads us
forwards:

we turned
a corner
in our dreams

searching for
a landscape
to call, ’home’

when all
the time
we hold it

here,
right
here,

a finger’s touch
the laughter
oh the laughter

& the fear,
that numbing
fear, of falling,

I’m crashing
through the
void, suspended

in our silence.

We walk a
pathway
to the dawn

the songbirds
scream their
joy,

at one more
day, yes,
one more

day:

just one more
day of
being.
