Five Year Payoff
The August sun's heat held closelyWe set out with minds aligned with timeOur bridges were fresh and sturdyWith kinship our story has written itselfSeptember brought leaves and distancewe set out with arms conjoined like chainsWhen one fell the motion kept forwardBlank chapters now filled with versesOctober we broke all our verses for conflictA conflict that steals the heart from the mindWe branch out like birds that have fled from the nestA week's miles has power to destroy a bondNovember brought cold air but wheels kept movingAnother concrete trail with lines moving westArrival is late but in time for learningA new bright light breaks out from the fogMonths fly by without much conversingOur mindsets assured in our wordsJuly's sun brought new warmth to shouldersOne late night has mended our woundsSeasons change with hoursClimates are brave in townsVoices ring like church bellsOur words stand with timeIn winter our arms form new links made strongBlank chapters now filled with verseThese verses show readers the pictures of historyWords will age but never fade
