Indigo

"...trying to meet each person wherever they are..."

Indigo

I prayed that your song
would inspire a word

or two

shadow of the moon, humming glow

half yours, half mine

tithing each smile
to the sand in your teeth

trying to meet
each person
wherever they are
on their own path
while never forgetting
ours

recklessly we
crisscross and trample
the narrow lines between us

but sometimes we dance
