Sunday Poetry: Continental Decide

blogaboutRHG0014.jpg

The continental divide 

where the mountains and skies 

touch each other 

Where the spine of the Rockies are

and all the rivers on the other side flow westward 

you and that big bright blue blazer both from 78 

agreed to put our trust in her  

grateful when She drove up peaks

passed tin cups through inclement weather 

traced glaciers

you were certain 

She made it 

all 

the 

way 

down 

with

out 

fault

to sleep at the home you built 

under the stars.
