Like the Sun, Like the Trees

You and I, but two figures
Sit upon a ledge upon a pond.
With green surrounding us, supported
By enduring brown, cracked but standing.
We talk, and we apologize
For one thing, then another.
Every wrongdoing and crossing.
Your faults and mine, summed up
Into one hash of sorries.
But as I turn to take in the oceans
That wave beneath your lashes,
A daring firefly drifts between our sights
And makes itself the sun.
Now, I don't know if you believe in signs,
But I'll be damned if that isn't one.
