Two Hearts on a Hill

Grant Hope #172

We’re getting a bit older
we’ve had to be a little more dauntless in treading our way
though the dewy trek is easy and familiar
experience has taught
that as we get slower we lean on each other more and more

As the sunrise over the grassland hills
brilliant as it always is
brings the soft light to our faces
casting our shadows behind

We stand atop this backyard elevation
another victory for these old hearts that keeps us in awestruck revelation
walking into the future inclined
has never been as breathtaking as the coming of fall
light rising to part the clouds away in its mild heat
as two hearts on a hill
filling their souls with the color of creation and each other
hold hands and stand still
