Talking about the future

Plain dry words
	and arrogant exuberances
do not move us

     flowers and inspiration
		do

we search for reminders
         connecting mind to heart
  		   healing to daily living

there is no figuring it out

there is no future worth anything at all
	    without the
      			arm in arm
     			 hand in hand
			eyes to eyes
  	bridge to spirit

you and me
                crossing over hazards
   with firm steps and astounding assurance

we race on the leading edge
	together
		without fear 
    		of falling off
