tennessee rise

I fear for all
the weight of time
moments cleft the dawn
will then we rise
or pray alone
sunlight cast around
wherein the words
I love you
will days the altar break
or night
the veil be lifted –
my hungry soul
to take

. . .

Horse Corral Fence along Road with Roadside Flowers

were there words
I couldn’t find them
tho I searched the dark
til dawn –
as gentle tears were dried
upon the lawn

a place
beside your picture
as poetry
you knew
the way to tell a story
with my name

with hands to trace
each coming back –
a kiss
was reason clear
I felt my way
across the night
to here

. . .

a place not far ~

I’ve heard tell
of a place not far
of a moment
eternal
together we are
as lovers beginning
breathing as one
a star undimmed
by the dawn
is weaved
into silence
carried by name
when once
we were here
forever the same
a sigh in the darkness
is whispered aloud
becoming the reason
remember me now
in dreams
far removed
from another sweet
prayer
when nights
I’m resolved
to come for you
there
