On the Ridges after Rain

Mood Indigo, Laurel Mountains


So, there you are in your life,

and here am I in mine,

mist lifting from the valley,

ridge from ridge obscured.

Mood indigo.


What saved us from each other,

our flaws too well-aligned,

you in the middle verses,

me in the final phrase?

Mood indigo.



—with a nod to Duke Ellington
