Me
Fast asleep from the lack there of
Instantly dreaming of driving through a northern woods
Under a bridge quickly to a steep climb
Too steep as the engine slugs to a crawl
Body and foot lean forward on wheel and pedal
As if to tilt the balance upward
Engine slowing and then a voice
You
Say something as to awaken
Hear my dream and tell me of the same
Simultaneous thoughts of your father
On freshly fixed bike engine that fails
While driving up a steep hill
Comes to a slow sputtering stop
Before the beast has to be laid over
Two minds walking together
On one slope of space and time
Of steepening hills covered in heather
And the mountains we are to climb
Like the buds that spring eternal
The oaths hold as winter snows melt to flowing waters
Doubts thrown upon the fire
Are quickly rejected back skyward
With smoke as accompanying notes
Lifted above the mountains
To the starry skies above
Love and the everlasting flame
Faith and the relentless reassurances of wonder
With an endurance of equinoxes
Perseverance easily endeavored
As the boundless emerges from whispers
Like raindrops in a perilous drought
For Lu
