Going There

We talked about making it. Up.
about taking the world's ways and shifting them around to fit, our delightful messy thoughts
, new ways that take us to places that nobody has ever been to.   And we did. 
Do you remember?   Going there.    Where nobody else has taken anyone along.  For the ride.
Open- ended.   
Never demanding more than the afternoon had to offer..   because the moment was always better than somewhere else with someone else.    I could believe in a thing like that.    
Laughter beneath the shade of pomegranates..   laying on our backs and sipping
strawberries. from each other's lips we both found truth and virtue.   And ourselves came alive too, that year.   I wandered free of the trees.. and found an open mind to play.inside you. and me       
We came up with the origins of life and defined the appropriate distances between strangers. to touch
   somewhere deep inside.   felt good.  
oceans melted,  the moon covered its eyes, the years turned into thunderstorms.  we got soaked
up with each other.  all the way through and through. 
a human.  never fully heals from such goodness.
blessings leave scars on your heart.  too 
and I feel them now.  clearly.
 because
it was never like this.
there is always time.
until there is no
more. time.
