Whistles and Gumboots

On kestrel wings with monkey howls
we ran through fields of wheat
scheming havoc in telepathy
to dare the stares on city streets

now its just the dogs that howl
we sit silent as the muse descends
and clouds pass across the sky
of souls with nothing to defend

whistles and gumboots
and a park bench near the end
sunlight and shadows
in cahoots since we were friends
my past tied to your future
on the day our twined balloons
sailed into the blue

dogs do bark and crows will caw
memories must shimmer
in woods where lovers carve their hearts
you pulled me from deep water

can you trace the lines on these palms
to where our path began
where the river meets the waterfall
there`s no turning around

whistles and gumboots
and a park bench near the end
sunlight and shadows
in cahoots since we were friends
your past tied to my future
on the day our twined balloons
sailed into the blue
