from the coming back
for going ~
for lessons learned between
for lives that never knew
where grace has been

let these
these mortal yearnings –
flow as sand before the grail
as words survived the falling
another soul to tell

will then
the fond aroma
of a meadow fresh with bloom
fill my heart with longing –
my breath with
sweet perfume

lest I plead myself
another ~
or declare a final truce
to come when spring is over
and I’ve forgotten you

. . .

not yet written to my soul ~

who will grieve
my going
who will make the bed –
or worry for a season
to things I should
have said

who will speak
my name aloud –
o’er rivers deep and cold
in places not yet written
to my soul

with promise cleft
by secrets sworn
beneath a jealous moon –
when first I died
ten thousand deaths
for you

who will weep
who will pray –
for moments almost come
for sunlight
where the night has been
for stars who mourn
alone

. . .

the weight of slumber ~

as twilight burns
and dreams are come
from not so far
away
for every truth I left
behind –
another with me
stays

stars that never falter
shimmer silver grey
tho not surprised
as I remember
eyes that warmed
the same

I’ve moved along
from places dear –
but stay with me
somehow
in dreams
the weight of slumber
is split by friendly
swords

. . .

belonging

for a little while
I waited –
watched the lane
where once you passed
kept a lantern burning
all night long

for a little while
I prayed aloud –
then drifted off to sleep
surrounded by
these memories
of home

fearless to
the morrow –
a day like all the rest
leaning to the light
where you have gone

. . .

more than years ~

walkinghometoday

will e’er there be
a dream too small –
or warmth left unimagined
as trade for love –
we waited more
than years

as witness
to some other dawn
where once we gave a promise
returning life –
from moments
scattered here

remnants of
a million lights –
stars we called by name
vows we made
ten thousand years
ago

another time
the heart decides
each coming back to love –
reminders of
the only truth
I know

. . .

lines erased ~

yesterhere

wonder sits
in empty sinks
as proof of my surrender –
a cloudless blue
denies the call for rain
memory returning
of a day I knew you well –
wishes made
another to remain

solace bears
a single touch –
beyond the want for leaving
lines erased
by all we dared to dream
loving arms to wrap around
souvenirs for keeping –
blessings for the journey
stretched between

for all I am
this little known
as truth again becoming –
a way beyond
the circumstance of will
as want for nothing
time is left
with moments sweet
(remember)
hands –
almost forgotten
how they feel

. . .
