We will part, soon.
But now, we pause in our tracks, looking around
In hopes of seeing something familiar,
Something safe that we could grab on hold to
And never let go.

We stood, unspoken.
Listening to the birds chirping,
The whispering of trees above the wind,
The beating of our own hearts,
And all silent thoughts.

Desperation was evident.
We were getting nearer,
Yet much farther,
From where the track should finally end.
If ever it does.

But another step is another new adventure.
For now, we will take the next stride.
Together.
Until the track splits in two.


for twitty. and thanes and christine.
