Jump the valley
ridge to ridge
over covered bridges
where lovers leave their notes
and sometimes wed
ruining their secrets.
Jump the valley
ridge to ridge
over scarves of mist
September route of raptors
following an urge
no stronger than you own.
Some don't make it
some don't try
some become stone
guarding the halls
to the past and claim
we were never meant to fly.
Jump the valley.
