Trading Shoes

the first thing we would know

of one another, should we know

anything beyond our way

is we both saw the light of day.

We both walked through onyx nights

said our Cheers! Over beers as fine wine

dripped from lips of countless beauties.

What we might do, if you were I, or I was you

is to fail as all mankind at times must do

then stand up twice for what is true.

Oh, if I were you and you were I

we could talk of what has passed us by

but, I'd prefer we talk of dreams

of mountaintops or seascape scenes

for what is gone is beyond repair

but, what is now is ours to share.
