And We

Darkened landscape silhouettes

7 Silver Birds sent speeding skyward

One each minute that passes

The rising sun lighting their bellies

Making them appear as sparkling stars in an early morning sky

The rays of light begin reaching

Into a new day only just begun

And I find I’m reaching too

For what I cannot say

The golden pink sunrise

Takes my breath away

It matters not the road I’m on

Still I drive

Something within me stirs

As the silhouettes dissolve

In glowing orange shadows

More metal birds now in flight

And with them my thoughts soar

Let them get to where they are going, I think

Let us all arrive safely

After this amazing journey in life

With our hearts full of laughter

And blessed lessons learned

So the dream continues

Unfolding as it will

And we, with it
