Agreements

I cried a river of tears
that led from me to you;
Then tried to chart a course
for my return I would ensue.

But the river became an ocean
and the distance between us grew;
yet, my little raft was unable
to navigate my return to you.

The further that I traveled
and with every new days' sail;
made me a little more able
to accept my life should I fail.

Alas, I reached an island
I charted somewhere in between;
And baptized it "Agreements"
that were made between you and me.

Its' a place of inner peace
that comes from just knowing
that the distance between us is joined
by friendship and inner growing.

It is funny, I began a poem this afternoon about "agreements." Maybe you wrote it instead and I can move on. *laugh*

Thank you for sharing this.

Maybe someday we can bridge the ocean... but until then we'd better be satisfied with the island.
