Three is how 
I imagine two 
of us talk
be it whisper 
or even shout
three says more 
than just two 
except when two
talk in threes

It’s smile
more than 
anything else 
his mine
others and
frequently ours
that makes 
this these
things us
for without 
the smile 
most else 
wouldn’t have 
it was 
and is
what drew
us together 
like bee
to flower 
to flight 
to honey 

And you 
when we
so did 
then I 
as you 
so fell
so far 
that now 
it’s not 
just you 
or I 
but we
and ours 
thus us

When I 
write this 
way I
imagine you 
and I 
side by
side swinging 
on tires
attached to 
our favorite 
far off 
tree in
what’s left 
of summer 

Imagine if you will
walking down a path 
and while walking you 
encounter other paths one 
perhaps into wood one 
perhaps into valley and 
maybe another up mountain 
and every additional path 
you encounter different journeys 
some are challenging while 
others seem easy and 
others almost seem impossible 
and during each you
meet others some who 
guide some simply passing 
and some genuinely confused 
a few others curious 
some defiant and others 
lackadaisical confident of their 
mistake upon choosing it
this is your souls 
purpose whether or not 
you admit or admire
acquiesce or inspire others 
this is simply you 
it has been you 
and always will be
