Come
ride with me
on the last day of fall
under a cold grey sky
when the days have withered
in the presence of growing night.
Come
ride with me
Tell me
what you've done
where you've been
how your life has changed
of the once in a lifetime opportunities
that you faced
raw
and unprepared
Come
ride with me
let's share the tales
of life, death and birth
since we last met
Come
ride with me
forgive me for falling short of my aspirations
and quitting before I was done
Come
ride with me
take my wheel
draft off my strength
promise to do the same for me
when you are stronger.
Come
ride with me
let us give meaning to this meaningless thing we do
on the last day of fall
together
Come
ride with me
let us spin through wintering fields
awaiting the coming of spring
and of longer days tomorrow.
I enjoyed this. Especially the "Let us give meaning..." part.
