This is how I see life.

I wrote myself alone
On a hill with my sketch pad
Until you came to me
There we sat
Alone together
In companionable silence
And I drew
With my words,
The shape of a song
Only you will hear.

I write that we stand
Alone in a forest
Planning our lives together
And I sing
With my sketches
The shapes of words
Only you will read

I imagine a day
Of companionable silence
You Alone
With me
And I’ll write
With a symphony
The shapes of the trees
Only we will see.
