I’ve lost track
and recollection
of where I left my keys –
and just last night
I realized I’d forgotten
how to dream
so much
we’ve forsaken
is remembered not the same
the winds are turning
but they still know
my name
I listen for the nightbirds –
so much sweeter than the news
reminding me of other times
and how it hurts to lose
everything I surely needed
like those keys
like my heart
like places we’ve forgotten
how to start
. . .

destiny, get me back, heart, home, it's what I do, life, love, memory, redirection, seasons, time, truth
I’m getting on
with redbud
and whiskey –
somebody told me
a tale
just today
somebody mentioned
a path you’ve been taking –
and I’ve gone
out of my way
to find you
uncertain
on my way here –
a life just beyond
somewhere I knew
I’m getting back
to a time
of beginnings –
to a season held captive
moments
too few
I’ve no regrets
no bitterness wanting –
no plans for another
some other
to find
I’m getting on
with sure redirection –
missing myself
– your heartbeat
with mine
. . .

all I really know, heart, life, love, memory, promise, reminders, soul, spirit, stars, time, truth
will e’er there be
a dream too small –
or warmth left unimagined
as trade for love –
we waited more
than years
as witness
to some other dawn
where once we gave a promise
returning life –
from moments
scattered here
remnants of
a million lights –
stars we called by name
vows we made
ten thousand years
ago
another time
the heart decides
each coming back to love –
reminders of
the only truth
I know
. . .

heart, life, love, memory, prodigal, reminders, soul memory, truth, what we keep
wonder sits
in empty sinks
as proof of my surrender –
a cloudless blue
denies the call for rain
memory returning
of a day I knew you well –
wishes made
another to remain
solace bears
a single touch –
beyond the want for leaving
lines erased
by all we dared to dream
loving arms to wrap around
souvenirs for keeping –
blessings for the journey
stretched between
for all I am
this little known
as truth again becoming –
a way beyond
the circumstance of will
as want for nothing
time is left
with moments sweet
(remember)
hands –
almost forgotten
how they feel
. . .

from this place
of reverence –
a breath recalled anew
each taking back –
to somewhere just beyond
the depth
from which emotions rise –
a prayer I know by heart
reminders of each truth
I lingered on
forsaken to remembrance
as distance falls away –
ferried out across
a boundless sea
to a home
that suits my longing –
grace when I am lost
– love returns
with strength
to carry me
. . .

blessings, heart, journey, life, love, mindfulness, open, shared intimacy, the way, time, truth, we're in this together
the road
however lonely
becomes a place
where we belong –
a storied recollection
of other days –
another song
as sunset gathers
gently
to the edge of evermore –
we are carried
by the journey
down roads we knew
before
let me know
if you are wanting
of hands
to share the load –
arms to rock you sweetly
when comes the time
to go
. . .

again, blessing, divine voice, heart, life, love, memory, sacred intimacy, story, touch
gift my heart
your story
I will listen
for the memory
of ten thousand
places love has been
as the whisper
of your fingers
write so sweetly
to my skin –
tell me how
I loved you –
tell me
again

forgiveness trades
her mourning dress
for one without the lace
cotton thick as ivy
wrapped around
borrowed from a sister –
knew how much
a heart could hold
but left before
the winter came so cold
beholding to another
take my hand
I am yours
dance me to a place
of just beyond
acknowledgement of every sin
surrender to the fates –
we wrote on these
same sands
so long ago
. . .

age, breath, heart, life, love, memory, nightsky, southern canopy, stars, surrender, time, value
in the hush
before a star becomes
a path across the sky
before our wish is fated
to come true
remember how it was
to count them all
to speak their names
one by one
a trillion lights
come for me
and you
as simple then
the way recalled
tho now it all seems strained
to recognize the wealth
beside the gold
to see the truth
when all the rest
is bent to break us down
forgotten
what the heart
was meant to hold
