chasing the big dream
a meandering view of the pursuit of happiness
A KristinaX-cabcool Collab
if you are the sun,
then i am the moon;
wherever you run,
follow must i, soon.
for you are the light
that shines from above
to furnish me sight,
lest vainly i rove.
i shine but for thee—
how sweet a delight
to have you catch me
as strong wind, a kite!
i glow for you now,
so that you may see
direction to grow
forever with me.
if you are the skies,
then i am the seas;
above me you rise,
while i, on my knees,
stay close to the earth,
my arms open wide,
to watch your rebirth
where angels abide.
if you are the hill,
then i am the vale;
i’ll love you until
the bright sun turns pale.
above me you rise,
below you i fall;
i’ll drink to your eyes
when summer winds call.
but you are my prize:
take me to new highs.
your tides captivate
my heart as i wait.
you are my desire,
igniting my fire,
reflecting my best,
equal to the test.
when there is no sun,
and there is no moon,
we may have begun
to make opportune
the moments we spend
chasing the big dream,
whose joys never end,
whose peace we esteem.

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to watch your brilliance in action cab. I feel like I did so little; you are the creative genius! ;) You are truly an artist and your visual presentation is always amazing.

You are welcome, Kris! And I am privileged, because it works both ways. Not only have you contributed significantly to the content, but you have had no lack when it came to the inspiration, the energy, the spontaneity, the big idea, the structure, and the message.
I am aware of the constraints against which you worked, and of how you championed your spirit to conform to certain guidelines in areas that may have deprived you of the liberties of your personal waiting style and preferences. Proving yourself equal to the task is certainly a celebration of determination and, not just will, but goodwill.
Thank you for helping to bring this conceptualisation into reality -- and one of which we can both be proud!

Talk about honour! You are right, PS.
Co-author Kris was able to inject those critical elements to make the poem rise from the page with a seamlessness often elusive. We appreciate your exhilaration and generous compliments, as well as your R/L award.
Yours sincerely
