living love

"Wake up!" urged Lady Adventure,
tempting Vixen of the night.
"Time is wasting,
Life is waiting,
Don't be a maid of fright!"
I fled my current state of being
and blindly leapt into the whirlwind of you
trying to match your carefree spirit
and build a pyramid of experience.
We abandoned a plastic existence
and borrowed the wilderness for a time
you built me a jade tower in our secret place,
visible to no one but you and i.
Some nights we danced in power outages
and you swam with me in the flood
We skipped through sunbeams
and hid from demons in the dark
we put quicksand in a paper cup
dropped things in and scooped them up.
We found perfection in the sky
and painted dreams on each other's minds.
And whenever I gaze at the stars,
I catch a glimpse of Lady Adventure-
she smiles at me.

for those who grant me adventure.
