from places no longer
the one getting by ~
as silver blue veins
trace the will of the wind
and speak of forever
our longing to know ~
like the hush of a whippoorwill
coming to nest
and branches bent over
by the memory of snow

terrapin tea rose
and red scarlet laces ~
were bloomed from the shade
of maple and rye
burdens forgot to the passing
of seasons ~
lives resurrected
as love would not die

red tail renewal
preys o’er the pasture
as swoons for another
a thought passed
between ~
whispers of always
linger as loving
to lie with us down
on a blanket
of dreams

where kept to the memory
of unfinished language
and rest within moments
our reason to be ~
as teardrops fall
on this view of creation
love becomes light
and life ~
destiny

miles ~

there’s a rub
to the waking
when the stillness
seems old ~
when last night’s
surrender to dreams
carries on

the coffee
indifferent
to the ways I have come ~
and places unnoticed
on the way back alone

before I was fallen
my sorrows to spread ~
when searching the darkness
to free ~

pieces
I should have
committed to writing ~
robbed of the story
ne’er meant to be

as I was
for a moment
somewhere still I remain
where we spoke
of lifetimes ~
now faded away

and held
for eternities
breath unto breath ~
so easy the falling
do you remember
that day

counted wings ~

nineteen twenties
silver dollar –
and dolls without their clothes
quilts were stitched
and still they tore away

coal had streaked
the papered walls –
as black the skirted dawn
hands to work –
fell the night
to pray

kittens cried beneath
the porch –
lifetimes moving forward –
as tempted by our fate
to sweet desire

crooked shelves
and hand-me-downs
as starched the sunday morning
smelled of breeze
and counted wings
of fire

twilight pressed
against the day –
bring the children home
across the fields –
and places lay between

mothers stood
with aprons tied
just beyond the lantern
mouthed a prayer of thanks
for saints unseen

hearts were tucked
and souls protected –
e’er the night be lost
or heaven break
before the early rise

hands were making
shadows –
across a flowered spread
as living held our nights
together –
long before our sighs

meets me coming back ~

tree lines
bend with shadows –
wrapped in summer fare
honeysuckle
mated with the vine
midnight swirls
of something shifts
backward to the black –
as gentle hands
remembered by the pines

freed again
to living – forgotten
now the ways
and just how cool
the dirt beneath my soles
running til the echo
meets me coming back –
into the place began
so long ago

red birds
raise the corners
and stretch the heavens wide
as waters pool
where beetles
first were seen
as bliss beyond the stillness
wakes to greet the sun –
rivers wash their sorrows
into green

angels sit in envy
for places I have touched
and words of silent meaning
grace my tongue
whispers fly
on pearly wings –
just above the pond
as beautiful
awaiting to become

clover sits
in four leaf sheets
and no one needs to count –
how soft the emerald reach
between my toes –
breezes grace the southern pass
turns beneath the canyon
sings the song
I hear by heart –
the only one I know

more ~

give me to more
than the flush of existence
a song held in place
by the sound of my voice
give me to more than stones
without mercy –
or plans for reliving
a once random choice

much more than words
or promise repeated
back and forth rhyme –
as a measure
of grace
burden and bruises
blisters and babies –
are more now than passing
of time into space

a name seldom spoken
as a thought
might have been –
and sworn to the memory
of love beyond life
a garden
of orchids
jasmine and curses –
as laughter to ring
in the dead still
of night

remembered
forgotten
made more by the journey
and moments no less –
for the ones without say –
where I’ll be missed
as my presence to linger
on paths still becoming
somewhere else –
a new day

much more than a spot
on an outdated map –
or a place without season
another to hold
more than a pocket
for keeping my compass –
or hands
once were holding
found their way
to my soul

know of me ~

come the wave
before the tide –
with memories of the shore
and light when danced
atop the foam –
remembers us no more

past the song
of silence raised –
some fragile dream recalled
when choice to be
so willingly –
would gladly risk it all

stay the night
another day –
shall wake upon the morn
and places
we have parted from
await a time reborn

hold these words
as written – in the warmth
that is your hand
and others –
as the taste of life
once washed upon these sands

know of me
when everything
you thought was real
is changed –
when the winds around you
whisper of the reasons
why we came

dark the wave
adores the moon
as breath beneath the tide
– as rivers flow
the ways to home –
on memories
of the light

winters unforgiving ~

came I here before daylight
alone with this sunrise
to watch the world
made new again –
and brushed across
the sky

more than once
was here I stayed
and woke
beyond the light
to places I had dreamed of
remembered to the night

I wondered
long to chances passed
and turns of wistful fate
of beauty
still becoming –
and I a moment late

tho not the first
I thought to times
my faith was sorely bent
to paths I might have taken home
and roads of good intent

how many dawns
spent looking back
without power to change a thing
to winters unforgiving
awaiting proof
of spring

as we are ~

were ever the distance
from then into now
be more than one lifetime
of living allowed
a sign (without warning)
another sweet smile
of grace in the crossing
as mile welcomes mile

who would know
lest we tell them
of lifetimes before
of living left over
by love – loving more
of a place so much richer
than as this – as we are
given not to a city
a breath or a star

more than name
less than ever
we shall pass – even so
not for years to be counted
or blessings bestowed
would love be constrained
to a time or a place
or touch be recalled
as a fleeting embrace

can it be
I can see
even more – that I feel
what of words rarely spoken
are no less what is real
crossed the night
sans the distance
comes as thought – not so far
can it be I am present
in the places you are

will these voices be lost
to the ages (and then)
might we wake from this dream
remembering when
as will be – it was written
long before we were one
love is more than a moment
to the place
we become

wasted ~

before the fall was over
did angels gather round
in search of light
and destinies
set free

from others
worn by heartache
robbed the willing curse
the power to claim
of life was meant to be

ages still and I am one
the same as then –
to differ
seeds of recognition –
at last are taking hold

poems writ but
found no ease –
no verse of consecration
fields to burn
now standing in the cold

love without
one more goodbye
sealed beneath the moss –
lovers counting lies
where silence sleeps

broken by acceptance
of weakness
more than sin –
of arms denied the comfort
no one keeps

turn from me
turn away –
for I can not be wasted –
to know of love that whispers
plans to pay

steal my soul
if this be all –
was come of resurrection
leave me without mercy
lest my truth be
sold away

shattered by a cloud ~

Just past the morning news
of hurry up to hustle –
a plume of smoke
and crackles filled the air.

Confusion caught in disbelief
of who had made us fall –
no one knew the names
or no one said.

Moments when the light
was brighter –
shattered by a cloud
and even then
their wings were spread
to fly.

I wonder sometimes
back to then –
of destinies becoming –
as dreams to float
with ash across the skies.

Crushed beneath our sorrow
muffled by our tears –
as heroes lined the streets
and breathed of fire.

Mothers sat in empty kitchens
waiting for the call –
would change their life
but never change
their love.

Candles burned
above the bay
reflecting home to heaven –
as slowly came the truth
to feed our fears.

Echoes still resound
along the places we were going
and all we know –
was never as before.

Stillness
wraps her loving arms
around a grieving nation –
Angels sing in voices
living here.
