whatever plans
tomorrow weaves
as refuge from my fear
surrender
never meant
to entertain
or be my solace
offered now –
where still I taste your name
haunting as the breath
you slipped away
. . .
still ~

where my heart used to be ~

divine intent, grace, here you are, life, love, nature, time, truth, who I am
fashioned of slate
carved by the river
that ran by your house
a mountain
that day
cool as the shade
beginning to turn
burning
my passions
away
four million miles
jasper and quartz
rings
where my heart
used to be
canyons painted
to honor your eyes
letters writ
to the sea
. . .
heretofore ~

for every path
another comes
a journey unintended –
sacred truths
of spruce and evergreen
wrapped in fragrant blossom –
moss and ancient waters
heretofore a destiny
unseen
choices where
it seemed were none
loss once deemed as prize
evermore is witness
to the time we took
in finding –
wandering our way to home
as sorrow
filled our eyes
moments held
above the rest –
souvenirs and trinkets
a flight we missed
another dream set sail
highways running
north to south –
a gravel road to nowhere
miles to make
another truth to tell
. . .
never ours to lose ~

all I really know, close enough to touch, deliverance, faith, life, love, prayer, time, truth
forgive my heart
for failing –
arms for letting go
denied the faith
for more than want –
some other fate
to know
when all is lost
remember this –
love I keep for you
hands resolved
to holding
what was never ours
to lose
take and know
for all that was
remains
within my heart
years succumb to living
lifelines split
apart
pressed as one
into the glass –
truth negating time
a kiss
to haunt my whisper
breath the same
as mine
. . .
making up dreams ~
19 Friday Nov 2021
what is it
my love
that keeps you away
moored by the night
to the edge
of the day
sworn your allegiance
to making up dreams
grieving each star
gone astray
while here
on my porch
I sit with the sun
taking my coffee
alone
wondering yet
how it is
you remain
so far
from the place
you belong
. . .
another first ~

perfumes ~

life, longing, love, memory, remains of another day, seasons, time, truth, what we keep
how far
from Spring to wander
I can scarce
recall perfumes –
wafts of honeysuckle
sacred vine
days beneath the sun
echoes of another
spilled into
a morning
just as this
boughs already emptied
tho memory persists
wherever now our secrets
fill the wind
. . .
evidence the ways ~
12 Friday Nov 2021
Posted in a time for telling, Poetry, spirituality, verse
how much of fate
was mine to choose
evidence the ways
folded maps –
another truth betrayed
how many stars
were broken
from their path across the night
fell as wishes –
one more turn
at life
what of this
I understand –
how much I learn anew
without a moment here
being loved by you
as wishes wait
a time
a place to be
here the same was I
seeking destiny
. . .
beyond the sun ~

within the dark
where drift the stars
few are given name
for only in the falling
some are found
let not a prayer
be wasted
a night with arms outspread
pointing to a light
beyond the sun
wherein the answers
glisten
silver blue and gold
memories the heart
has dared to hold
as fleeting as a wish was made
pressed into the dark
a sigh
wherein eternity
is come
. . .
