we arrived beneath
the same beating heart
joining forces
earth side
with the strength of
three sides

clouded in questions
you were
an answer
a hand to squeeze
when shadows danced on the wall
safe, like

ocean potion
and the race of my heart
on my bike
when the rain starts
a slide through the grass
around the corner, monsters

holding bugs
picking pinecones
isosceles
a mystical buoy
when the weight was
too much to bear

I see you
when I look in the mirror
when I look at old photos
when I watch my children
their laughter is your laughter
their laughter is our laughter

I don't know if I get a tomorrow
I don't know if you get a tomorrow
But I know what we got

a golden locket
a travel through time
three

forever holding
the belly laughs
of sun kissed wildflowers
echoed in the distance
past the moon
as she rises
