Two Hours For Brooke and Peggy
Two Hours January, 09, 2009
Choosing words
Two hours to do it
Which words, and how many
To move you
Teach you
Lead you
To understand more of me
More of life
Of love
Quietly, I ponder
Wander
In and around the English language
Looking
For those words for you
So many!
The past?
We’ve done it
Talked and talked until we’re blue
The words tripping out over a glass of wine
More spilling out over coffee
A handful here and there in the darkness
The present?
We speak of it daily
Until we sometimes run out, exhausted
Me running over
You stepping in
Until the dance of language and thought
Becomes one
Our present needs be spoken of
Perhaps not today
The Future?
Yes and more now!
What will we do and how will we do it
And who will we do it with and when?
What’s most important
This time
Our time
Time
Now
Two hours to choose the words
And each day they will be the same
I loved you yesterday
I love you today
Tomorrow is ours
And now.
