No,
I do not know where the journey will take us,
but

I know there will be adventure.
I know we will get lost and found again.
There will be nights, where we cling to each other
in passion or fear or comfort,
sometimes all in the same night.

We will discover new places
together.
We will find the familiar,
together.

We will talk in the dawn,
share secrets and scripture,
and breathe in each other’s soul.

No,
I do not know where the journey will take us,
but

I know there will be magic in it.
We will watch fireworks
and wail the blues like a smokey clarinet.

drink in each other,
drink in new wine, drink in the stars
that guide our journey, that fall, that blaze like the sun itself,

shared sunlight. Shared midnights. We will stumble
together. and rise
together.

No,
I do not know where the journey will take us,
but…

About this poem. 

Sometimes I just need to write a love poem.
