20 Sunday Feb 2022
were for this
my final grace –
I held my breath
and waited
the passing down
of consequence –
falling on my knees
wanting for another place
silently to fill
lungs no longer thirsty
for the light
every best
intention
as yet tho not enough –
to starve the flame
where destiny is moored
for this
a prayer is given
without worry
for the cost –
the taking back of heaven
– dreams
I’m fondest of
a hero when the story
fell apart –
come for this
a morning more
to rise
. . .

emily, history, legacy, life, life well lived, love, memory, this isn't depressing, time
is a part of me
forsaken
when my name
no longer sounds –
when photographs
are scattered
to the wind
when dates
are worn to nothing –
but a mark upon the stone
when the burden
of remembrance –
fails to mend
will there be the one
who wonders still
to places I was loved –
to find my words
a whisper saved
will there I love
again

another me, emily, life, longing, love, magic, memory, mystery, rambling, romance, sometimes, time, wonder, writing in the dark
whatever was
so misconstrued
how was I to ever
hang my heart on magic –
endear my trust to lies
whatever loss
might I confess
to moments
so enduring –
as those who came
who left without goodbye
should history
remember me
to something less
romantic –
a purple bruise
beneath a jaded sky
scripted as
a sleepless night –
burdened by my longing
with memories
of memory –
and ne’er a tear
to cry
. . .

blessing, dreams, emily, eternal, legacy, life, love, remembered whole, sometimes, spirit, time, truth
when all my days
are nothing –
but a soothing breeze recalled
when memory has left
the only ones
remained of all
I loved
I loved completely –
with life
til I was sore
who will tell the story best
of all the days
before
who will know
to worry –
for purpose yet undone
as those endeared
beside me lay –
and those resolved
to stone
will e’er my shadow
linger
in places not so far –
or will my name
become a prayer
wherever lovers are
. . .

stilled was I
a moment longer
than e’er my tender soul could spare
than e’er my heart
undone by breaking –
could find anew the will to bear
eternities
began and stranded
within the want for one more day
within the swell
of breath surrendered –
as promise come from faraway
a name returned –
from silent keeping
defies the watch of space and time
where once a kiss –
another waiting
as evidence of faith divine
