Hello, my friend,

won’t you come out to play?

What shall we do tonight?

I know there are

things left unfinished

and unsaid.

But, what do you think?

Shall we start again,

something fresh and new?

Do you want to dance tonight?

You pick the beat,

you pick the music.

You pick the steps,

I can follow along until,

You fall into place where you wish to stay.

Or shall we take a journey,

Perhaps white-water rafting?

Down a waterfall…

Let the water grab hold of us,

rushing faster and faster

with the hope of a few eddies to give us pause…

Before we continue our downward plunge…

Or, shall we simply curl up

with the familiar and the comfortable?

Cozy up under the covers we know so well?

I think, perhaps

the thought has made me tired.

Snuggle up with me, sing me a lullaby

and let me sleep…
