Poem A Day Challenge - Day 5 - Landmark

an odd-shaped rock

rests on the hardwood

hidden just behind

our bedroom door

it’s from that riverbed

where we explored

a few years back

I remember the trip

was a last minute thing

we packed our bags

and grabbed a map

hit the open road

our getaway weekend

we discovered again

how you and I feel

walking hand in hand

through springtime woods

riding side by side

singing with the radio

chasing that next

roadside rest stop

today that rock

worn smooth by river

serves only as

a doorstop

and occasionally

from time to time

it’s a reminder

a landmark

out of place

a monument

bearing witness

to that weekend

when we escaped

and re-discovered

You and I, together

I’m ready to go

to find that lonely

odd-shaped rock

a friend or two

are you?
