A quick little free verse poem. I may post more over the next few days.
And when you'd wrap your arms around me, I wasn't scared
Even as the ocean swallowed us and the sun scorched our backs and the gales tore gashes in the earth
Even as the sky crumbled and the ground under our feet quaked and my bones began to tremble
Even as we plummeted into the untarnished
Bold pioneers that we were
Falling into the new
Together.
