Where Dreams Elope
I don’t remember where I was,
when the Earth became my lover
Surrendering herself to me,
enticing all endeavor
Canyon Walls and Glacial Cliffs,
whose depths and heights I wander
Memory folding in upon itself,
my heart immersed in splendor
I now find love with every breath,
and every sight that lingers
As joy is wrapped in every smell,
that sets my thoughts to ember
To walk as one within the arms
of seasons, wind, and weather
Renewed of hope where dreams elope
—remarried to forever
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2020)
