A Walk In The Clouds ☁️ A collaboration with Corinne Aufiero
Ethereal clouds slowly pass by.
I often find you beyond the birch.
What makes you watch the river flow?
My last vision is you
before I drift to never neverland.
A quick jerk of the leash awakens me
from dreaming of you again.
My collie bounds toward the river
I call out for Charlie
but before I reach your blanket,
he found comfort on your lap.
With an uninvited disturbance,
you still grin widely.
My apologetic eyes are gladly defeated
as I take a seat
because Charlie finally said 'hello' for me;
ungracious as it was.
We both introduce ourselves
but once you speak,
Charlie and I are captivated.
***
I could not have ever predicted
how a routine pooch walk in the park
could transpire into meeting
someone as special as you.
Woken up from an incessant
lonely existence,
into a inconceivable way
of living my life for me.
A gentle stroll,
making time drop from my side.
Trying but failing to
talk like a normal human being.
A clash of fingers
resulting in us holding hands.
The immense surge of
not wanting this to end.
En route to a red front door.
We stumble through,
a couple of luxuriating adultescents
eager to rip our clothes off.
I can't explain how we got here
but I've never been so sure
of anything in my subsistence.
