a hand to hold, allowing, and still, everywhere I am, love, not yet, truth

i knew
when first we loved
how we’d be
some other time
when the road was gone –
and every light
grown dark

i knew
how could i know
were there words
we couldn’t say
promise not yet wished
when we fell
into the stars

i knew
when there was nothing
save the echo
of your voice –
as silver wingeds brushed
against my heart

i knew
when we were started
yet i had not strength
to give
beyond the dream
of one more place
we are

. . .

how it was to break ~

a hand to hold, a jealous moon, allowing, and still, before we understood, life, love, time

tell me
where your words
have gone
where the key
is kept
will truth
be ours to scatter
o’er lifetimes
we have left

will time
resort to flying
will your heart
find rest with mine
will words
be lost in how it was
to break

were my faith
a consequence –
of a promised
one more verse
where time is stilled
with every sigh
remembered

tell me
where your words
have gone –
where the key
is kept

. . .

all I know, allowing, another life, in no time at all, love, truth

when breath is caught
in telling
and the house we knew
is gone
when fate declares
our every dream
come true
as strangers walk
the paths we loved
to feel the same
sweet sun –
will not yet be
the moment
when I’ve forgotten
you

. . .

to grieve the same ~

allowing, courage, grief, home, knowing what I know, memory, time, truth, what might have been

Today’s devotion was one that I needed (tho I find I need almost all of them in some way or another). It was about grief, but not grief in the traditional way you think of it – as grieving over something once had and lost. It was grieving of another kind – grieving for what might have been.

In the devotional, one woman explored her grief for a life that might have been had she not miscarried a child – her life and the child’s. And it made me think to the children I’ve never had, but also to other lives, some lived through word or in memory – but lives I grieve the same.

Take time, wherever you are to think on those things – even if just for today. There’s another life that misses you, other arms that reach out within the silence. Do not dwell in that place for life continues regardless. But it would be a shame to not allow them their space, to allow the tears that you’ve dared to cry alone.

when I’ve forgotten
how it was –
or what of hope allowed
when years have gone
with all I dreamed about
let not my heart
be fractured
along the same sweet lines
where once I loved
my love shall be
in breath –
no longer mine

closerthis

The things we bring down and burn out without knowing the cost. Then there are those who know the price but think things will work out…not realizing the expense of acceptance. Did they ever know the worth? Judge me not.

A rough winter snows wisdom. We try once more to bear it because we love the warmth of the fire. Surviving strengthens one evermore. It holds us ransom. Angels sing.

I love this poem. I’m there seeing it, feeling it, knowing that fragile trading and what was/is truly given. God spoke.

Author’s Note: For the breadth of my years, I am a servant at the altar of writing in the dark….. The words come and I let them. ❤

allowing, breath, forever, love, seasons, silence of the heart, time

floating_petals

ten thousand suns
a moment’s dare
to feel the warmth
of twilight bare

into the cleft
where once the heart
was troubled by forever
turned

a tenderness
unknown to most –
ashes fell as snowflakes
leaves of red
were golden sailed

into the midday
burn

. . .

all I know, allowing, gravel roads, life, love, remembering, roads to home, sacred intimacy, sometimes, wandering

pullmehome

of moments
some unworthy
I’ve forgotten
where they went
roads I thought
might get me back
to home
loosened by a memory
kept aside the same
words where none
would matter
anyway

how it was
and where I left
these pieces of my soul –
to question
who would notice
what was gone
dreaming
has a way about
of bringing us around
along the road
we wandered
yesterday

. . .

allowing, bliss, breath, knowing what we know, light, love, memory, remembrance, seeing in the dark, tenderness, truth

beyond words

I’m the daughter
of a son
a tender petition
an echo
where promise
once moved on the wind
a wave from the marrow
river of my heart
spoke
in the language
of soul

to your soul

a moment
returning
to one never lost –
how sweetly we feel
when cleared
from the past
remembered as whole
to places we’ve been
touched
without touching
eternally when
we were held
as a secret –
passed without word

from a light
just beginning
to burn

. . .

whereandstill

within the silent
answers come
to prayers
I’ve near forgot
whispered
like a song
into these folds

became of need
but one desire
for love
as I am known
traces left
to grieve a heart
of stone

words are loosened
promises
– from all
they might have been
when proffered
by a moment
on my knees

. . .

deceived by the chill ~

remains as one

o tell me again
of a moment so dear
could cleave from my soul
the remembrance
of ache
would weave
of the losing
a tapestry fine
wrapped as it was
to the story began

blest be the grieving
til nothing is lost
but an emptiness
filled by a kiss long ago
wrench from my sorrows
the mercy of love
– to remain
when the earth
is gone cold

let not these arms
be deceived by the chill
this bed
by the falling apart
tempt not these lips
in silence
to squander –
the richness of story
held by the heart
