look across a forest glade at me.
Every green leaf in movement and a breeze touching.
From my side, I see multitudinous waving
and You.
You hear another voicebox
asking hard questions;
‘Would you like to join my dream?
Will you let me join your dream?
Why cross this glade?
How far can we reach?’
Look across a river at me.
Cold water spinning us far
if we jump together now.
But
would you jump if I jumped
first and would I follow you?
“Would you join my flow?
Will I take your journey?
How far can we sail?
Can we swim upstream?’
Look across a caldera.
It’s hot in there and would kill us quickly
so let us walk anti clockwise.
But
if you circle, and so do I,
we will not meet, denying heat.
‘So shall I stop and wait?
Or will you wait for me?
How long will we linger?
Or turn and slide away?’
Look from a mountain top back towards me.
Shall we drop the nonsense, friend?
Together. Leap. And fly!
Like Real Life.
