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

. . .

beyond our own ~

blessing, closer to forever than the stars, eternity, home, light, love, memory, nearer, remembering, soul, truth, witness

just beyond the branches reach
beyond the furthest light –
I remember well a reef
of diamond shards –
a single arm reaching out
into the vast unknown
cradled as we were
against the stars

waters swirled around us
sands were washed away –
oceans fell their sorrows
at our knees
poetry was written
with ne’er a thought to rhyme –
carried by the tide
into the sea

the moon was still our friend
embers before dawn –
angels wept for worlds
beyond our own
traces of eternity
still shine beyond the trees –
awaiting our remembrance
to be known

. . .

the long way back ~

another life, breath, find me home, hands, journey, life, light, love, memory, mountains, nature, reasons, stars, truth, walk me home

in another place
I was –
crushed beneath the shadows
bowing down my head
chasing truths
do you remember
how it was –
the giving in to silence
as the echo of ten thousand
tired boots
a night succumb
to whispers –
a morning without shame
lights beyond the highway
burning sand
do you remember
was I with you
when the mountains
fell around
as waters rushed
to fill an empty land
I know you now
as I knew you then
another life
with nothing changed
this sweet goodnight
bathed in light
is reason
why we came

. . .

kept to silence ~

as morning
burns away the night
– afternoon arrives
forgiven us already
for staying in

wonder sits
in sleepy eyes –
where mystery is made
longing kept to silence –
light to skin

. . .

a moment more for me ~

when I’ve forgotten
will you promise
to carry all I love
into another day –
another life

when I’ve let the image go
of the oak
outside my door –
the smell of wood smoke
drifting through the pines

will you carry
will you tarry –
a moment more for me
when I’ve forsaken
every proof
of time

will you reminisce
as I have now –
on places I was loved
on dreams
I hope you dream
enough to find

a place apart
from everything –
a light where there are none
solace in these
memories
of mine

. . .

much the same ~

closer to heaven than the stars, destiny, fate, life, light, love, memory, promise, secrets, stars, stars by name, time, truth, wishes

was once
do you remember –
a moment much the same
we tracked the stars
and answered back
their names

traded
every secret –
but for another
fate to curse
even now I can’t recall
who was first

years and
everafters –
span a life
of might have beens
places we were one –
now again

come the burn
of red horizons
met with darkest coal –
stars against the heaven
of my soul

. . .

when for this dawn ~

another dawn, breath, faith, hope, life, light, love, nature, prayers, sorrow, soul speak, spirit, time

sundown

when doves are lined
above the wall
singing of their sorrows
when gardens grow
to touch the edge of day
let love remain
the same as once it was
will be another –
a light we knew
when for this dawn
we prayed

. . .

light ~

almost always, awakened, here, life, light, love, open heart, sometimes, still, time, trust, willing

sleepmetohome

were not for these –
these open arms
this willing heart
reminders
the warmth of love becoming
another distant day
when by some other path
I came –
with want for one redemption
were not these eyes
permitted sight –
light
to see your face

. . .

yours ~

wondering

press me not
for when the light
will burn to show the way
tell not the others
how I grieved
with want for one more day
how long the way returning me
how sweet the welcome in
press me not the moment
when I am yours
again

. . .

not yet done ~

breath

tis all I have –
a damaged heart
this story of beginning
a map I drew
one Sunday afternoon
tis only this
sweet recompense
for all you have
to bring
as comfort to a
journey not yet done
but on our way –
let me be
the truth
of which you sing
