Hey

~ Harlan Didrickson 

And from some far
off place perhaps the 
valley of possibility tucked 
at the foot of 
the mountain of expectation 
comes a voice heard 
Hey
And once again yet
again sliding down from 
the mountain top after 
clinging to the peak 
of expectation I skid
slip and stumble past
boulders of heartbreak over 
pebbles of indiscretions and 
affairs back on down 
past the tree line 
of awkward first dates 
coming to the pool
of possibility where I
hear that familiar voice 
Hey
