The Dance Doesn'T Have To End
egnimatic ocean floats in the air
as we sit in green bean, waiting
the 24 carrot will rock tonight
we'll dance under the influence
of an intoxicating new love
grounded in this moment
our lives entwined in celebration
we are easy about our differences
carefree and reckless
the future a hungry canvas
to saturate with vibrant hues
precious firstborn enters our world
and our bond is now stronger
the reality time-shifted, yet
the celebration continues
even though the tendrils of addiction
begin to slow-choke our spirits
memories become infected now
with the anchors of mortality
suffocating truths that bleed pleasures
we once took so casually for granted
no longer resilient about those differences
so let's remember where we started
and why we chose to share our journey
find a way to forgive and move on
before fate leaves the other wondering
what a senseless thing pride can be
