from this
another waits
the story to begin
carried up in shadows
velvet blue
candlelight
and evergreen
somewhere i hear singing
a fluttering
of breast
beneath the truth
a branch
no one could reason
stars to lean upon
i knew you once
did you ever
know my name
who will be remembered
when nothing left
is sure –
when everything so different
feels the same

as the last
constellation
brushed into light
planets not yet given
to name
as weeds tangled over
the barbs of our past
I want you
to love me
that way

as a three quarter moon
oceans obey
souls coming back
for a kiss
as the memory of sparrows
sailing to home –
I need you
to love me
like this

like a wild
tameless river
split through the pines –
canyons carved
to the sea
pebbles and seashells
left to our wake
with reckless abandon –
love me

. . .

would that i grieve
the weight of your voice
the warmth of the sun
in your smile
a breeze of breath
recalled to a sigh
moments
where promise we left
wherever tomorrow
remembers me yours
as rain from the roof
falling down
as sunlight spilt
even now by the barn
and carved
through the pines
a careless goodbye
was never intended
the way
turning home
forgotten how sweet
to arrive

beyond the pull
of northern lights
a roll of sacred tongue
reminds me now
how far from birth
another birth is come
to take me in
to lift me up
when i’d forgotten how
it felt to love
it felt to fly –
this destiny allowed
with arms to save
from all that was –
tis you
where i belong
tho nights were lost
to slumber –
was for this
i waited on

i hear the rain
before i know
day is nearly come
somewhere
beyond the shadows –
another sun

i hear your breath
above the strain
of raindrops
on the roof
warmth to fill this moment –

where you are me
and i am you

i know this song
ten thousand birds –
words you taught me well
a melody of memories
mysteries
for sale

i feel the rain
i need your touch
a gathering of wings
fulfill my need
for heaven –
for light
the morning brings

chisel me
forever
set your name with mine
beneath an evening
spread
of ancient pines
beneath a sky
of almost black –
wings against the dark
whispers of remember
– fathers
taking flight

carve me
into maple –
my soul to golden oak
swear me not a page
where i might stay
counter to a memory
how would i compare
as one so sweet –
to steal my heart
away

. . .

years for letting in ~

rivers fall
a rainbow
to appease a hurricane
brushed into
the places
once i grieved
tears surrendered
everything
thought of nothing more
than a hurt to heal
years for letting in
beyond the sky
of smokescreen –
beyond the reach
of lies
came of love
to find me –
waiting still
beneath a stretch of color
rainbows
i have seen –
reflecting me a river
in your eyes

canopy of sparrows ~

once before
like this
it was
we waited near to dark
lifting up our prayers
my soul to keep
near it was
to almost
came the sun
one more amen
bruised to find the lesson
of our knees
forgiven to surrender
sure to lay me down
in shadows
where the cross
was just a tree
a canopy of sparrows
bursting full with blooms
rings beneath
the branches
a blessing to receive
heaven sent to find us
graces without end
love became the answer
to our pleas
