FIRST CHAPTER

by Nancy

Escape

Both of us
Certain
Real life
Lay elsewhere

In
Stylish spaces
Hollow with missing you

In
Ancient tunnels
Leading nowhere

Months apart
Frightened

Hiding from love

But
Not forever

I found strength

You did too
And
You came
To see that I was well

Courageous
We told fear’s first chapter
By love’s shining

Revised our story

Trusting
The next page

I await our next page together, H
