You and I
You and I , everywhere.
The dark , dense growth, wild and free
You and I, tread softly to civilization.
Ragged and coarse , in ill – lit caves
Holding each other, around a fire.
The threat of the unknown
Screamed across ignorant skies.
You and I were swept
In great of terror.
A modest hut and fields, a pond
A tree bent low over it.
You and I, toiled and reaped
Turmoil and rewards.
Our barn was full.
This time,
A never-ending abyss, an infinite mountain.
Drown me.
In gurgling steams and churning seas.
Dripping candles and torrid winds
Cannot sooth this agony, this ecstacy .
You and I.
In later places, new names
New faces.
You and I
Still…
