Drive To Stay
A tangerine sky
A long drive
Drive far away
Drive windy roads
Roads lead nowhere
Roads lead somewhere
Somewhere further North
Somewhere in the Red Rocks
Rocks scattered about
Rocks worth the climb
Climb a mountain top
Climb to see a view
View through pale blue eyes
View through hazel eyes
Eyes weary
Eyes longing
Longing to connect
Longing to feel
Feel the warmth
Feel the sun
Sun in their eyes
Sun on their skin
Skin exposed
Skin dehydrated
Dehydrated lips
Dehydrated souls
Souls a little lost
Souls chasing dreams
Dreams collected
Dreams faded
Faded not to last
Faded into the past
Past becomes present
Past becomes future
Future is hopeful
Future is resilient
Resilient in nature
Resilient in love
Love your face
Love this place
Place your heart in my hands
Place my heart in your hands
Hands graze one another
Hands entwine together
Together we become
Together we stay
Stay near
Stay here
Here…
Near…
