TRIADIC VOYAGE

The little girl with her walking stick

& puppy dog following close behind...

She was real even though I dreamed of her last night.

She was a voyager who made

many grand discoveries,

with her faithful dog

beside her...

In the wooded yard...

In her imagined adventures...

Behind a house with a snake fearing mother.

This was years before I met her,

& her remembered journeys made me smile

& dream of yesterdays when I voyaged too.

This was before our lives intersected &

created a new world for our imaginations

to describe & imbue with a common vision

of friendship & honesty...

love & vulnerability...

compassion & understanding...

in a triumvirate triumphant.
