Just like you allow the hills
to seduce you
and have cold winds wrap
around your shoulders
Just like you match
every heartbeat with
its undulating echo
across the valley
I crave the beaches
- my home -
where the warm waters lap
leaving me shivering
I lie in the sand
watching wing-flapped screensavers
I remain as still as a rock
just the way you do
on the cliff
wishing,
releasing a silent prayer
In that quietness
as the sun sets
We both can feel
the earth has moved

...then discard it, as
a palpitation, a single
tremor within the heart
And go back to worship
the false gods, that we
know are not always there.
Lovely verse B&B!
you made this path
a two-forked road
but at least you
interacted
and chose...
