Endure

Endure We’ll be happier Anywhere away from here Faded stars in our eyes Darkness consume our hearts Bitter seeds and toxic fumes Buried in our backyard Energy flows Wherever we go I will wait for you forever In your unchanging solitude I’m hanging on to the legends of old The grand stories told Of chance Of romance I sing behind my broken guitar strings On a mountain range The grass is bluer there Where jeans bleed and dye on clothing Raking leaves in the autumn Gloom and breeze You hold me through the storm The demons are gone Free falling from the rooftop of our house Onto the trampoline that dances to our every tune Somewhere deep in the forest True love reside Where nature reigns and breathes life into The most fond of hearts Still, we drop and plunge into the water Before taking lessons So we drown and nearly die of suffocation The learned are students of life Those who seek knowledge for understanding You’ll find me outside the door ,waiting Waiting and waiting some more With patience I shall endure Marckincia Jean Free verse 10/22/19
