Journeying

Spring sun warms my aching knees.
Have we come so far,
together?
Blackbird sings in the blossoming trees
as we rest, weary,
eyes closed in the smell of grass.
Thrusting new shoots prickle our sensitivity.
Hunger assails us
and thirst.
Hold my hand as we journey on
or I may leave you
alone.
