Together

It is this moment that I will take with me
I hope
where the quiet is a friend
the sky shifting slowly across the window
blue backed clouds and pole perched birds
and the feeling in this moment
that you are out there
calling to me
inviting me toward a verdant stream
where i might lie
and know the peace
that comes from living through the bombs
of everyday assaults -
the judgments, the betrayals, the accidental injuries -
and getting to that place
where the friends are everywhere
the words passing simply across our lips
big bold hearts and standing still together
and the feeling in the moment
that we are better for each one of us.
