from the end
another started –
a place was ours before
tho pieces have
been lost along the way
neglected to my keeping
trusted far too much
hidden in a box
buried deep
ancient hieroglyphics
carved into these walls
music plays
some nights
to drive me mad
heaven understands
how prayers have gone awry
every plan for getting home –
a flaw
jaded by a promise
to keep my heart for you
cheated by the sounding
of the clock
. . .

grace, introspection, life, loss, love, nature, rambling, reflection, sometimes, still, that thing I do, time
of riches
I have nothing
but the memory of love
gathered close as breath
near as touch
the soul remembers
lest I faint
was lost
tho I am not
faith has kept me
tethered to the trees
drifting
on an evening gale
life restored
as choice to be
held within a promise –
a seeker sure to see
the world is changing
as am I
as e’er were we
to start
racing toward forever
not a breath apart
as certain grace
a holy place
reserved
of none I own
a tender prayer
is whispered there
faraway
is here
and I can’t tell the difference
between love
and letting go
let the truth
in living
fold around
the memory of where
I’ll be
some wiser sun
will pull me from the branches
trailing winds
where once
I was set free

another day, becoming me, faith, journey, life, love, reflection, story, truth
I feel the blush
of a million sighs
whene’er I walk this road
as witness to the place
I go alone
when comes the blaze
of afternoon –
shades I recognize
are laced between the branches
falling round
reminders of another time
was all we knew of love –
sycamore and maple
spinning down
silence rings
in memories –
as close to now was then
whispers falling
echoes met by stone
one hundred years of living
reflected in your eyes
lifetimes come –
ten thousand
dusty roads
. . .

is this the day
I might have traded
for another life somewhere
cotton sheets
and sunday morning –
with nothing much
to spare
melodies
you played to me
are stretched along the line
as the scent
of summer storms
swirls beneath
the pines
a crooked board
a broken cup –
rings I’ve traced before
moments I was wanting
for another –
so much more
whispers bind
my life of pieces –
and everything is new
hands are fit together
as I’m falling
into you
. . .

abundance, blessings, grace, life, love, rain, reflection, sometimes, soul memory, understanding
sometimes sweet
oft times bitter –
the taste of yesterdays
but true to love
the worth of either
has filled my troubled heart
with grace
there are no lines
nor rivers swiftly
suffered by the rain
no griefs have I without confessing
everything to gain
let me live
or let me gather
all tis mine or thought for once –
let me pass beyond this slumber
but leave to memory
the whole of us
. . .

acceptance, another me, love, memory, moments, reflection, remembered home, soul speak, truth, writing in the dark
I know this path
familiar
unfamiliar
as the river
that scores my hand
the knowing prophesy
of life
and all that love
imagines us
into being
I know these blossoms
they are friends of mine
names I’ve misplaced
times
that left me wanting
empty for a drink
of remember
I know this way
as once I lingered
somewhere else
another me
was here the same
tho not made wise
by the memory
of love
we carried
. . .

time has erased the
girl in the mirror –
a clarified version
of someone I knew
stares from the corners
leans to the shutter
breaks in the passing
and smiles as I do
at stories forgotten
retold from the ending
tracing old patterns
nobody cares
how we became
for what were we searching –
a touch this familiar
waiting love –
waiting there
miles down the mountain
living aside –
essence remains of
some sweet other time
a faded reminder
of me in the mirror
but for passions
we shared –
love
would be mine
. . .

do you stutter
when surrender
finds its way
onto your tongue
is promise left to bleed
outside your door
when the choice
for everafter
makes a case for one more day
a longing sweet
as any
come before
do you dry your tears
while sorrow
makes a home inside your soul
do you lie awake
to wonder
over words
that you haunt you so
is there anything
remembered –
of the life you dared to dream
were your plans for love
forsaken
in your quest for all
it means
. . .

were not for love
what purpose this –
the fierce embrace
of living
the gentle tug
of evermore –
a hand that fits
the same
what mortal death
the slightest power
to steal what none can steal
truth
that even silent lips
proclaim
tis not for us
to understand
of breath
beyond the knowing
of graces heaven gathers
in our name

the trees
were praying
as the sun slipped low
to shadows cast
much longer
this
threadbare soul
these brittle bones –
a verse or so
becoming
aged hopes
of a seasoned heart
a path where none
remember
time is bent
to the shape of life
to the curse of ways
uncharted
