YOU & IVY
Like creeping ivy we began
From the ground up
Swirling and twirling
Up the trellis of life
Entertaining our nature
Our green essence
Sublime
Along the bridge of our memories
Some leaves growing older
New younger leaves born
Some of our leaves
Have been weathered
And torn
In and out we continue
Over many horizons
Spreading out across
Plains
Every gain
Every loss
On the bridge of our memories
I remember where we
Started in the soil
We promised
Never to part and
Here we are
Two spirits tangled
In the galaxy of
Life
On the bridge of our memories
Your ancient foliage
Reminds me of when
We were kids
Playing under
The bridge of our memories
Many trains would pass by
The railroad often cried
Humming a warning
To tuck our leaves
Deep inside
As we quietly smiled
And held stems for awhile
No matter how we may twist
In every Milky Way
Turned we will burn
A new sun in a new
Universe
On the bridge of our memories
The blood of our chlorophyll
Will stretch out our vines
Beyond the rings of
Saturn an eternal
Invitation and
Ladder for
Others
To
Encircle and scale
And unwind
Into our new galaxy
Unending
The stars like street lamps
Go for miles
Along the bridge of our memories
Moon shadows of light
Cast upon our great
Plight to the next destination
Another golden plantation
Trailing, sailing
Unveiling
Searching our hearts
To find our souls
Loving forever
Living together
Shifting to
Better
Atmospheres
Our home is always here
Within us wherever we go
Embracing love of all kinds
On the darkest of days and the
Brightest of nights
On the bridge of our memories
We are like the beanstalk
That Jack had once climbed
We are an eternal existence
Parallel and aligned
With Spirit to guide
Divine Mother beside
Our vines will
Continue to
Climb and
To wind
Throughout time
On the bridge of our memories
