were not for breath
a moment more –
than e’er the years were promised
were not for prayer
I spoke aloud
or gave to stars
one night
as venus burned
another sun
I fell into your eyes
beyond a meadow
deep and sweet –
flush with fireflies
were destinies delivered
a kiss at seventeen
became a wish
to stars recalled –
the memory
of a dream
. . .

if ever
for my words you ache
just listen for the night –
the steady drum
of stars succumb
to heaven chasing light
the cry of crickets
fiddles ring
as shadows round are cast
cedar boughs
forgiven now –
are kneeling on the grass
the stir of
night birds waking
to find another song
things I might have told you
– they will hold you
when I’m gone
. . .

you were the color of truth
in a black and white world –
bloom to a blanket of weed
the warmth of September
toasting my skin –
an answer
to every need
you were the first cool breath
freed from the river
a comfort when dark pressed around
a shadow of sparrows
high in the trees –
waiting our time
a reminder of song
you are my thought
at the end of remembrance
when all is forgotten –
love will remain
whispered aloud to the stars
– warming my kiss
with your name
. . .

somewhere beyond
the certainty
of one more every day
beyond the wish
that keeps my dreams awake
as kisses unforgotten
dry an ocean of my tears
for a moment
unpretending
time is lost –
you are here
wrapped in morning
promise
whispering my name –
for a moment
not to wonder
why you left
or why you came
for one more
dream remembered
in the silent swell of dawn
another sky
we lay beneath –
stars we wished
upon
. . .

I’m the daughter
of ten thousand stars
verses strung together
as witness
to the ways we came –
a prayer before surrender
days and lifetimes charted –
as we slept in fields below
nights of hallelujah
(heaven)
saw the sunrise
o my soul
a promise born to keeping
– was ne’er dependent
on the past
but living love
remembered (still) –
a kiss beyond the last
. . .

departed
as the want for more
when seasons passed between
the shoreline
and the essence born of dreams
silence swirls
in shades of pale –
shadows skirt and scatter
were not for this
a promise
once we made
to come again
to know anew –
the power of surrender
as crushed to shells
along a distant strand
beauty hides
in early tides
flowing outward
ever –
to meet the sun
once lusted
by the light
. . .

how many seasons
have passed while I lay sleeping
dreaming of the sun
this time of sorrow
is more than tears – a river
to unremember
surrender me
the coming home –
remembrance of another
who knew me well
would never tell –
or hurt for swords
intended
my ways along
the rural road –
run south – then east –
then skyward
where I shall rest
in arms of love –
my tattered soul
restored
. . .

my days
ten thousand windows
pressed against the sun
another time
forgotten now the way
where mornings burst
in red and shadows –
paper hyacinth
lavenders while sleeping
I returned –
to watch the world beginning
beneath an ancient dawn
where once before
you urged me dream
again
. . .

already now
the twilight rests
against the threat of night
where dreams
I can’t recall
await my sleep
already there
I’m missing you
without regard for days
another dawn
beyond my will to keep
a name unspoken
in silence stills
to bring this aging heart
to tears
released the want
of wanting left –
to find of heaven
moments here
a place removed
unclaimed by grief
beyond the realm
of yesterdays
returning light
an endless sun –
where I am yours
to love
always
. . .

earth, heaven, home, just beyond the firelight, life, love, nature, reminders, sacred intimacy, seeing in the dark, sometimes, still, the divine in all of us, time, truth
in a little while
time will die
and all that was
remembered still
as the sweetest song
on a perfect night
when time remained
to steal us
in a little while
breath will come
as a mighty wind
upon the plains
that was the earth
that is our bones
~ into a life
of keeping
in a little while
love will wake
beyond this dream of living
and time will want
for another way
to hear our song
the same
in a little while
silence will fall
to clear the heart
of whispers
where names and places
rest unclaimed
~ as heaven
above the cedars
