If perchance
we stumble in
to this mortal dance
and swing
and dip
across the tip
of life’s ledge,
If we dare
to venture on
beyond
simple reflexes
past poor pretenses
will we meet
and dance
in poetry?
Sweetly
and discreetly
we will bend in
words that mimic
ballet movements;
Feathers flapping freely.
I see you before me
and I adore thee
as a true friend
as a poetic compatriot
because you are great at this
sharing the depths of
our heart that write and love
all the world
below, around, and above.
