of lessons
learned over –
revealing to me
the places where once
I lay down
of choices made sweet
by their bending
with mine
voices to echo
a moment
 divine

of wonders
I can’t help but yearn
for anew –
another someday
we shall find
how dear the surrender
of days
barely gone –
shall pass
through eternity’s
eye

in silence
I hear you –
in living I love
no different for ages
 the past unrehearsed –
the start
where beginning
some other
one day –
immortal
eternal our verse

of promise –
are words
 unwritten to tell –
would honor the places
I’ve known
lessons in loving –
mysteries fall
as willing the heart
to return
to its own
