Z

Follow to the end
Of the alphabet
With your index finger
Draw a line
What do you find
The curves of my dreams
The miracles we achieved
Moments that would never be
If we hadn’t shown up
To make them real
How many is twenty five
Steps we take to get
From beginning to
The place where we
Start over again
Footprints on the path
Down to the water
Where cattails cast
A shadow on the mirror
That reflects the years
What we have gathered
In our baskets
Tales of our ages
All the way down
Irises and lilacs
Marigolds and ferns
A forest full of life events
We have yet to live and learn
In every acorn shell
Lies a fantasy to retrieve
Trailing down a strand of hair
Past the sunset on your cheek
I imagine you will meet me
In a grove over the hill
Where emotions hang
From coniferous melodies
I’m bringing you a meal
Something to quench your thirst
Six pockets full of love
More than enough
My heart could burst
From A I find you resting
Our true beginning in a bed
While birds are nesting
In the trees above my
Curious head
Underneath the branches
Tangled by the sea
Peacefully awaiting
On solace blanket
Full of Z’s
