Varied Journeys

VARIED JOURNEYS

how far did we promise?                         
from city to country town
to wild overseas adventures –
how many songs did we pledge?

did we trade rings and glasses
for a valley of marmots
before champagne and children
with a missing pair of shoes?

or was it an incense of prayers
mixed with dawn milking and skates?
do you remember the length of the vow
and how it soars on a spinnaker wind?

all I believe is the speaking
and the chorus of years that we travel
