that lonely hill

we walked today up and down that lonely hill
and before we knew it, before too long
we parted at the gate you entered but i not.
and as you walked, gleam in your eye
excitement in your gait and adventure in your bounce,
i watched and waited.
you turned and flashed that lazy grin,
and the crowd swarmed over you.
i wondered then who really was the one drowning?
me and my inperfections
or you and your ordinary.

when the greats throw in their final spears
when the dieties fall in love with mere mortals
that is when the heavens weep.

and i think, in a little whisper
the heavens shed a few tears today.
