In the Key of Love
In poetry form: the culminating 30
home
we built
life
with songs
in the key
of love
dreams of doors
and pathways lit
by the thought
of your laughter
returning to me
as if youth stayed
and suns never set
but we can’t capture time
to watch a child grow
is to know childhood’s tricks
backstage pass to magic shows
time travel’s carousel
wait for me where our lives meet
let me travel though your brown eyes
help me slow down this story
this time, let me reach where I’m wise
wings are meant to free so spirits soar
my guides are mine and yours are yours
when you leave the home you’ve always known
to seek your dreams, alone you’ll never be
love for you is key to all I’ve sought
for love is all the music that we need
all days and weeks and years we have each other
my pathway home is dreams of your laughter
