daylight burns
ten thousand sins
tho not a one
for good
prayers I’ve saved
as loves unnamed
yet there against the rub
of one more day
one more sigh
wet upon my tongue
locust croon a favored song
– as I’m remembered
home
. . .

lean against the longing
of one more moment here
a place to stay
without the need
for waiting –
the need for some forgiveness
(dare we ask again)
the want for home
(another me)
come in
lean against this promise –
made easy by the night
a candle glowing
ash upon the lawn
whene’er it comes
where’re it lays
(on sheets) the scent
of summer sun
the dawn will bring
assurance
of ten thousand yesterdays
we talked of this
returning
lest you find me
(just this way)
leaned against the kitchen sink
staring down the road
(forgotten every reason
not to stay)

be still
the ache
that satisfies
to ease these grieving hands
be mine
the soul remembers
what the heart
can’t understand
the coming back
when ages pass
into the mist of time
– tis there
my breath is taken
by love
forever mine

the daylight
grows dimmer
with every october
tho the nightbirds sing louder
this spring
a reminder of counting
the miles to forever
broken old crosses –
lacey white wings
it seems but a moment
backward forgiving
to a place just the same –
starting again
hands held aloft
pleading with heaven
for one more tomorrow –
another amen
a quiet surrender
of midnight
and morning –
is washed from the sun
by a river of tears
recalled at the end
as a time ne’er forsaken –
when love glowed the path
of our way
back to here
. . .

tis all I have
the best of me
given to this destiny
wherein I live
ten thousand lives
unsure of one –
one more
forever now
these hands are bent
as silence breaks
o’er moments spent
on lifetimes more
than I can see
ages without memory
exist forever
as just this one –
this only
always
best of me
. . .

how many times
the coming back –
across ten thousand years
to realize
what wasn’t real –
how life could disappear
like everything
we wished for –
when came the time to leave
holding still to all we loved –
dreams we dared
believe
they never said
nor once confessed
the truth of love’s restraint
to fold across
eternities
wherever life remains
a beginning
never ended –
just beyond the reach of fate
love released of wanting
beyond this sorrow –
waits
. . .

I was at last
an eager breath –
the scent of snow on dust
a place of nearly nothing
how I felt
when you were gone
going –
which and still
I wonder now
but I’ve returned
somehow
in learning
none are gone away –
the journey
blooms with seeds
from yesterday
. . .
Regardless the journey, we are never lost to love nor us to it. Where we are, it is…….. We carry love; it carries us. Home is a place to which we are always going….a familiar we’ve never forgotten.

spring believed
before I did –
and blossomed with relief
for times I cursed
the blight of winter
snow
heaven knew
of faith reserved
to catch the falling leaves
where blooms your love
in every place
I go
. . .

how often now
my soul is fed
with crumbs of yesterday
of memories
I’ve yet to give
away
o precious song
of silent lips
when whispered –
come to me
could e’er the wind
abide
such mystery
a solitude
of aging sands –
by graces undenied
tis not for me the silver
grew –
another youth
to hide
years replayed
and laid again –
o’er those I dare not keep
dreams –
beyond the countenance
of sleep
within the hall
where time is charged
by one still yet
to know –
love becomes a river
to wash upon
my soul
. . .

where today
in your wandering ways
have you noticed
the color
of light –
blue as a blossoming
glory arose
to stand in the path
beside your
highway
come as a message
written to love
pressed between pages
once you were here
leaning together
another became
seeds
before heaven
we bloomed
. . .
