As it continues

We have covered ground here,

through the longest night

and well into the year,

we have found healing,

sometimes tenuous

but slowly coming clear,

and though you’ve flown,

we still will walk this path together

The sun this morning

was almost match

for the gusting winds,

blue ruled the water and the sky,

we skirted puddles

on the familiar road to town,

hand in hand, you and I

So far we’ve come, beyond the judgment,

beyond the strife, beyond the words,

we think we see the curving of the earth,

and maybe on that circle

we’ll find our way back home

and taste the flavor of our native worth.
