a passing by
the window –
a voice I knew somewhere
when traces of another
moments spent
concede to consequences
and unlike times before
have brought me back
awaiting winter’s chill

returned to love
within this realm of being
the night was gone
before I knew your ways
how is it lives have come
and gone – dreamed
while I was sleeping
I knew you then –
a sweeter evensong

when loved before
was breathing just this easy
the key was lost –
but I had sworn to find
souvenirs of reason come
(am I the only seeker)
stood the night
and waited for the dawn

wherever truth
is waiting –
shall think of you
(the same) and worry not
when dreaming
brings you round

ashes melt
as snow wafts o’er the valley
the river’s up
I smell familiar seas
verses meant for keeping
(I remember)
tis time to turn –
forever waits
for me

move me ~

Move me to pause
in the midst of these moments
when life goes unnoticed
(lace covered walls).
Move me to silence
lest words give me reason –
to turn from the wonder
was given us all.

Will I be awakened
as the last star is falling –
when east and west waves
together are rolled.
When the sun has burned through
a hole in forever –
the moon – only grieving
his place in my soul.

A sweeter refrain
than thought given motion
move me to witness
stir me to tears
~
Give of my graces
the charge of an angel
life beyond living –
where time disappears.

Back through the ages
a soft recollection –
of others we wandered
this way to reveal.
Move me as Mary
as Rachel and Hannah.
When love we remember –
move me to feel.

murmurs ~

when once upon another time
I reached to find you home –
as close to this
the skin that seals my drum
as light unto my emptiness
you came as summer sweat –
rain to cool my fevered brow
sometimes

whenever night
your music fills –
and all I know is love
a verse or two
still written on my soul
dreams where we are touching
spills to light my face
smiles –
no matter what the world might bring

longer than the moments kept
lifetimes passed between
eternities –
yet you remain the same
a trace of something magical
amazing gift of truth

love you are –
breath you are
to me

Just a quick note to my fellow bloggers –
those who follow me and those I follow alike –
The weirdest thing has been happening
the last couple of days –

I will go to great lengths to provide a comment
to various items and click send and *poof* it’s gone –
and not like gone into ‘review for moderation’ but
gone as in GONE (zip).

So I decided to investigate the problem (thinking maybe
it was an XP IE java loop of madness or something)
only to find out that many (seemingly well-adjusted)
people have complained about this very thing in the last
two months –

To verify what I learned, I checked my spam, which
I had emptied just last week, and I had 109 messages –

And you guessed it, quite a few were from you,
my dear friends.

Apparently, if the site believes the comment
is spam, it doesn’t send an email –
it just tosses it in the back of the pantry with the
three year old trail mix and dogfood (for a dog
you don’t even have anymore).

I’m off the recover your comments and reply
to them – and who knows, maybe I’ll end up as a
princess in some far off place like Spamolia!

But if you’re wondering why you aren’t seeing a lot
of comments, you might check to see who’s been
misfiled 😉

what is it that we do
to make ourselves of less
than words
than tears
we never dry
for sleepless nights
and children tucked
away in nothing better
than we would give
to those
so not like us
differences
I wonder
more than flesh and bone
and words
were never heard
(but echo still)
what language
bears the burden
of tomorrow
what selfless soul
will grieve for
innocence

in pages you remember
to define me as a rose ~
and another time a briar
to your hand –
oceans I was washed ashore
and somewhere there you were
a broken shell –
amazing you –
a man
and I lovely loner
(please come for me)
in beauty to be rescued
from the past –
would ever there be essence
the scent of me to wear
scars
where we were torn
and stitched together –
scars as I was known
apart of you (a part of you)
blossoms yet
wears me now
– to home

came the words
unwanted
for lives were not my own
and ears were pricked awake
by thunderstorms
lightning flashed
as dragonflies
were swept into the black
and somewhere
promise melted
to a sigh
with no one left to tell
just how the story started
of how it felt to know
the past was gone –
better now remembering
years forgiven years
jars of age old harvest
hands beneath the page
winter blows against
this house
and I am (soon) reminded
of lips that would not move
without my pen
awaiting now
another story starting
with ears to pry
yesterday to speak

am I to ever understand
the mysteries of love –
maps to trace
me backwards to your soul
amber light to shine along
the path before
beside –
walked I once the miles
to roll between
and counted every clover leaf
names for every tree
stone for stone
and step for step
the same

times forgotten
hardly seem to matter any more
or where the planets move
against my own
concern for more than this
this moment of the now –
the path is gone
but still I make my way
whenever twilight plays across
the way I leave tonight
I call into the darkness
do you hear

save for me the reasons
were waiting voice to say –
and I shall sing of lilies
where you fell

score the night with passages
line the woods
with wish –
carry me a box
returned to cedar by the creek
hands to hold
eternities before

now I lay me
down to dream again

already knew ~

from silence
was delivered
one word above the still
please –
and I would listen
for an answer to my will
something more
worth coming back
would wait in patient grace
for proof
someone had heard me
in worlds beyond this place

I must be loved
I must exist
as someone else had dreamed
was offered me
a message of redemption
thought unseen
a light to glow into the night
will cling to every bough
til none were left
but those without the fear
to wonder how –

shall love endure
when prophets sink
beneath the weight of truth
I can’t recall
the reason I was come –

rocked against a song
already knew

crazy moon ~

I can’t be made
to be the one –
the one to make things better
Been working that
so long I can’t recall
a time before
of month old tears –
and nothing in my pocket
I wonder what it means
to see it all

to lives before
and I can’t do a thing
about those choices
– been nipping
at my heels
and I can’t pay
Unsure of my uncertainty
a balance to my breaking –
Gave my body to a preacher
just to take my sins
away

The land is hard
where weeds grow strong
and no one seems to notice –
got troubles of their own
they can’t see
Who am I to think
there must be
something here I’m missing –
the whole world thinks
I’m crazy – I must be

Though not the same
as anyone
much deeper than they bother –
how many times
been broken
just to have myself remade

Coming back
for taking back –
I search the sky for answers
Damn that yellow moon
so far from me –
spinning wheel
the wind to blow
orchards needing water
The creek’s been dry
for nigh on fifty years

Burn the barn
unlatch the screen
and throw away my apron –
don’t worry long
for stories I believe
There’s something here –
more than storms fortelling

Lord I need to feel
the arms of rain
