Let Us Go…--By David Sermersheim--United States

Let Us Go…

you and I

to where 

water meets the sky

and be one again

before all is done

and winter’s dim dark chill

draws down hard and fast

and we cower

from each sullen blast

against what endures

through tentative hour

while waning dreams

fade faster than

feeble ambition can sustain

abiding the angular course

to quiet realm

of solemn darkness 

in silence and peace
