That winding road
Just because
You can, or cannot see it.
The end of the road
does not mean that
it's not there.
Just because the twists, turns
hills and slopes
are the fun of it,
never the end of the road.
My heart strengthens every dawn
from you.
Shift gears and pull
the water out of the way
pound macadam,
seek the path:
Let’s meander the bends
so it takes longer
to end.
Dusk’s blue: come, sit by me
and watch my light fade
but never yours.
I am here, rising, where most won’t see me,
except for the stars in your eyes laughing at me dance.
