along the roadside
headed East
her thumb stands
in the cool breeze
as wisps of brownblow across states
she weaves storiesthrough rings of light
as I grow
eye to eye we standstubborn and strong
two beans in the pod
jumping bordersspinning heads
as time continues on
new generationschange roles
age dissolves
in betweenas our friendship grows
we ride bareback
answering for all to hear,“Everything is God!”
