Engagement

by Nancy Clark
Let's strive together, you and I,
Before our minds and muscles die,
I'll be Earth and you be Sky.

Reach out and clap your hand on mine;
We'll seal a tight horizon line
Where dawns will surge and days decline.

I'll work the stage; you work the lights;
We'll coach the actors through their fright;
We'll help their dramas play out right.

We, too, just players in a scheme
For energizing scripted dreams,
A faithful and untiring team.

Though perfect scenes we'll never see,
We can remake reality
On earth. We'll try, just you and me.
