INVISIBLE SKI-BOAT WAKES

 

I would have run all day

To find her

There with my memories

All aglow

            Early first kisses

            Love in the 17th year

            Long rides in the two-seater

            Far into wooded nights

To tent on the lake’s eastern shore

Seeing sunset

Over invisible ski-boat wakes

Lying together

No adults about

            To find what is

            In this hologramic world

            Where reality is not always

            What we see

Who was to know

If we said what we thought

Maybe argued out positions

On the world stage

            Or made each other laugh

            While we sang

            The hit parade

Top of our lungs

As we ran the trails

And hiked the streets

Of many cities

            Youth itself

            Lived together

            Learning, loving, separating

My life now almost perfect and serene

A lifetime of accomplishment and love

Based on those early dreams
