The scenery takes my breath away,
Leaves me in awe,
As my barefeet etch a trail
Through your mental landscape.
I stand on the bank of a river
Where dreams flow,
Swirling over a bed of polished stones.
I take a sip,
See my reflection smiling back,
Continue on.
There are deserts. Barren and lifeless,
Except for vultures which feed upon
The corpses of ideas that never made it.
Arms stick out from half-finished graves;
Memories of abuse, hardship, helplessness-
Memories that refuse to leave you in peace.
Overcast skies cloud the future.
Uncertainty rains down, soaking me
As I search for shelter.
But just as quickly as the storm arrives,
It is gone.
Blown away by the winds of change.
The sun shines again.
The path is clear and leads me
To a mountain of hopes.
Your words lift me to its peak,
Where I look out in amazement.
Oxygen fills my tired lungs.
Blood races through my veins.
But it's all worth the effort;
My journey into your thought.
I've tasted the waters of fertility,
And shared your dreams.
I've crossed the desert of despair,
Sought shelter from uncertainty,
Stood upon the peak of hope,
And found comfort in the similarity
Of our minds.
I don't want this journey to end.
Let us travel together, face adversity,
Seek shelter in each other's thoughts.
Let us reach new peaks hand in hand.
We are one.
