there is no
left
no always right –
just a blur
where things went wrong
a moment you were here –
then you were
gone

balanced
among strangers
for eyes in search
of mine –
a hunger so familiar
seems my only
every time

beyond the blur
of wandering –
a wrong forgotten now
right returned
unnoticed
and I was saved
somehow

. . .

leaning in ~

staying

of ways
I have not many
but to be
as I was meant
– some solace
to the fallen
I repent

the blessing
come of letting
– the bliss
of leaning in
to places unforgotten
I ascend

to wonder
where
and what might be
– for this
will I return
as colors into maple
rivers burn

remember me
to shadows –
sweetest breath
within the cold
of breaking –
there the beauty
– taking hold

as nothing more
for only this –
such truth
as love revealed
a sigh
within the silence
holds me still

. . .

Author’s Note: Inspired by All Saints Sunday.  What remembrance
shall hold you yet?  ♥

findingme

darker the page
this side of my bed
where sleeping
you move me away
from places
the moon
remembers at will
– as silent the sigh
of a dream
falling in

you must have been
surely not
more than this wanting
already the hands
have gone on
touching to numbers
we knew
would replace
the last with the first
a kiss more
to save

too many
to mention
of moments sustained
in the fold of a sheet
– an illusion of rain
could be
I was grieving
this loss long ago
when turned from my seeking
– to wonder you
home

making of story
one ending the same
as you spoke
to the dark
while counting
my stars
