VALLEY SERENE

walk with me on a valley of flatlines
steer us away from the shrouds of crowds
stay with me on this mountain of pastimes
dream with me on these billowing clouds

these deadlines grow narrow and time will not yield
to our weary feet and these tempered missteps
whose tempos have harrowed and yet to reveal
how our souls have circled in vortex perplexed

grow with me like an aged tree
whose branches and leaves tumultuously fall
through wind and rain, your company
will weather strengthen my weakest resolve

our roots intertwine in this soil, unclean
by the river and streams of our valley serene
