Colorado

Colorado calls

Let the solid streets fade 

Transfigured to swaying grass

Watch the streetlamps shed their clean steel

For mossy wood of pure oak

Puddles filled with streetlight glaze

Puddles content with starlight blaze

Colorado calls

Join the festival of quiet hope

Soft eyes illuminated by cheap fairy lights

Dancing to the rhythm of our hearts

Back and forth as the rivers ebb

Shivering from the cold mountain air

Yet warmed by your breath upon my face

Your smile a sun in the midnight dark

Colorado calls

Dawn comes slowly here, so does time

Sit with me on this weary bridge

Ignore the hurried travellers behind

They’ll be welcomed soon enough

Instead, watch the new day rise

Hopeful light reflecting upon the ripples

Made by feet hanging off the bridge

Untied laces, there’s no need for running

You’re Home
