Untitled - For My Wife

I’ll follow you, go with you

                To the end of the earth

Against family, against logic, against politics

Against all odds.

Against the wind

In riches, poverty, insanity

For the sake of aimless wandering

For fear of failure

For peace and joy

I will go with you

I will follow you, I will lead you

                To the edge of the world

Living life in an explosion

The pressure of waiting

The fuse of circumstance

The combustion of movement

The hot fire of purpose

We won’t wait for the lights to go out

We won’t wait for the line to die down

We won’t wait for the end to come

                Before we see, step up, begin

I am tired but excited

I am a living organism, tied to you

We are a creature of purpose

A destiny to fulfill each day

Jumping, shouting, playing

Swinging our arms wildly

Let their conventions turn to dust

Let their mountains become small hills in front of us

Let their populations dwindle

The land is ours

The life is ours

Sing for joy!

We’ll lock hands and I’ll spin you

                Until your feet lift off the ground

Days of fear

Days of regret

Days of struggle, torment, fatigue

Days of boredom

Days of surviving one day to the next

Days of endless night

They are over

                While we step into the bright light of the sun

While we have joy in the sun
