Different World

In a different world you were mine.

In that different realm, you are mine, however imagined.

My heart still aches for that different timeline.

That possibility unrealized.

If only I had spoke differently.

If only I had acknowledged that I did not understand

we would be in different skies and at different beaches.

Warriors, bowing before the right hand of God.

Standing still in time and gaining power from the sun.

Fighting the only fight worth fighting, together!

That day was one of the best drives of my life.

17 lbs at my right foot

and wonderful sunshine through the canopy.

Motoko crushing all impediments

on my way to the most subtle mistake of my life.
