You and Me Following a Preposition

I pick up the pen, and I put it down.

I pick it up and put it down again.

The sheet of paper stares at me,

A blank look, a clean white slate

Indeed. I prod the brain to find a

Fitting way to address the page.

Yesterday I named forest and birds;

Today I look to the sun-shafts of

Enlightenment beaming a flutter

Of other words. The idea of You and

Me coupled in a stanza of life arrives.

You and I. It is proper, You and I,

Should we follow a structure

Without a preposition preceding

The reference of You and Me.

You and Me would be appropriate,

Should our mention have followed

Before. I pick up the pen again and

With You and Me in mind, I begin.
