firsttime

sometimes
I sit
the longest night
in search of other words
nothing ever written
something never heard

would sounding such
so all would hear
would feel the verse within
is given not to rhyme
or line
or seasons to defend

with nothing more
than names I’ve kept
nothing less than love
would roll against the margins
of all I’m fondest of

urges sweet
so few will know
of longing without place
echoes born of loving
worship lost in grace

of moments more than
I have room
within the page
to hold
ten thousand more will follow
another time I’ll know

the feel of home
a rush of pulse –
the comfort of a kiss
ages lost
before I came
were waiting me for this

a time to still
with hands to heart
remember me
this way –
found in unforgotten
words I didn’t say

. . .
