were this
the end of reason
a death to yesterdays
of feelings lost –
longing
burned away
if all I’d loved
were given rhyme –
destiny unknown
places to surrender
every breath –
I own
verses weaved
with evermore –
winter wheat and sage
words I saved another
– whispers
from the page
what truth
remains unspoken
of moments loved I best
a life well lived –
so silently
confessed
. . .
Confessed are the words between the lines
a silence between universes, a breath remembered to a sigh….
