Last night I dreamt of you
we were in a movie theatre
you sat behind me
and leaned forward to touch my shoulder
I reached up to touch your hand
in the dark it was okay
but when the lights came on
I turned and you were gone
Today I ate M&Ms and I was ashamed
the pup came galumphing into the room
his ears were inside out and I was amused
in just a bit I will cross the Salisbury Viaduct
and I am afraid
not afraid, apprehensive
a fear of heights grew up with me
but I am leaving it behind
Before we met you told me
…high up
gasping for
balance
pushing on
we must
keep moving
or we fall.
Good advice that I will follow
on this bridge and in my heart
None of you will walk beside me
not one will hold my hand
but each of you are mixed into my soul
and I am not alone.
