Change Inevitable

We were one, you and I We rested by the bubbling stream Notebooks out, thoughts on paper Surroundings fragrant with spring growth The serenity pierced by a cry of an eagle Soaring in wide circles, floating high and low Laces were tightened and retied One step in front of the other, four feet in sync As we continued the steep uphill climb The warm beams of light streaming through A canopy of old growth cedars and young pines Soon the bluffs came in view above the cove Only one of many past joyful adventures…. The roar of the bike comes to mind Climbing the shadowed canyon highway And along the lush green river valley We glide as one leaning through the bends Hot air burning exposed skin as the sun sets These images and many more, only memories Of a lifestyle, spontaneous, nothing held back The life we lived, carefree, happy, excitement Let us go, bags packed, gas in tank, music on Highway cruising, west to east and north to south Nothing stopped us, living in the moment, having fun Those years are gone and sadly missed Teary thoughts of what once was Change inevitable, altering events, the world moves on And two people become lost to one another Then find each other but not the same A distance created, a fear, too much in between
