long after Autumn drops leaves
memories fading

rains depression. obscuring
moments of lightness.

and find each other

sunkissed clouds embrace
wind blowing through your absence

one deep breath: boulders

your ancient problems
molded by wind and rain and time
solved in climbers grace

more breaths of boulders from the poets at one deep breath

one deep breath: closeness

moonlit encouraged

drawing each to us
