Love is gravity
It keeps us
Grounded for without
Either or both
We would simply
Easily float away
Like the clouds
Do every day
Love is gravity
It keeps us
Grounded for without
Either or both
We would simply
Easily float away
Like the clouds
Do every day
I am much
Like a dog
I enjoy being
Teased and played
With petted and
Called patted and
Reassured invited onto
The couch bathed
And preened and
Fed and like
A dog I
Enjoy being by
Your side on
Wooden trails in
Snow and rainy
Afternoons but what
I like most
Is simply this
The one that
You turn to
For comfort when
You are sad
That’s my place
Next to your
Warm hearts hearth
I’ve been asked
What’s a friend
How do you
Know who is
Or even which
One could be
A friend is
A favorite book
That you’ve read
A dozen times
That you quote
In troubling times
That book that
Somehow is always
Reached for or
Lands in your
Lap or bed
Those characters and
Those stories and
Those adventures that
Make you believe
There is something
More than you
They’re the last
Person that you
Think about as
You fall asleep
Dreaming of them
Like a duck
On a pond
I have heard
The winds song
Time to go
It is saying
This isn’t home
Home is there
Way out there
Beyond your imagination
Here is where
Home let you
Be before you
Eventually get there
It’s time time
To go I
Hear the winds
Of flight swirling
Around me almost
Lifting prompting me
To come go
Somewhere anywhere else
Remain I do
Hopeful hopefully hopeful
That you’ll change
Change you don’t
So change I
Must leaving you
And all of
This behind me
I’m a migrating
Bird letting the
Winds take me
To someplace else
Any place else
Than right here
