VOICES RESOUND

 

The adventure continues despite the loss

No accused on trial

No uranium isotopes ingested

Just the ocean wind

And its faint scent of salt.

Nearly invisible in the mist

One runs as swiftly as before

Yet over the shoulder is just an echo

No melodic “wait for me”

            The wind mill of the mountaintop

            Turns almost as before.

            Music and voices still resound

            And the shooter chases the rebound

            As the planets stream by

            City lights gleaming in the night.

            Smiles break out as moments are recalled

            That were as close to perfection

            As could be imagined

            By the two who started it all

Afternoon passes in a cool whisper

Hinting at the coming fog bank

Which waits ominously

On the western flank of the coastal hills

Building its nerve

Holding its fire

Until the time is right

To blast mercifully over the ridge

And flood millions of souls

With its mighty cold

            We warm ourselves greedily

            Knowing the blanket of billowing fog

            And its undeniable force
