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

. . .

grace ~

reallyme

from this place
of reverence –
a breath recalled anew
each taking back –
to somewhere just beyond
the depth
from which emotions rise –
a prayer I know by heart
reminders of each truth
I lingered on

forsaken to remembrance
as distance falls away –
ferried out across
a boundless sea
to a home
that suits my longing –
grace when I am lost
– love returns
with strength
to carry me

. . .

still now ~

remember this

let these words
embrace your soul –
as once before
goodbyes
I lived as moments
burning in your eyes
I knew of love
do not deceive
do not deny
tis so
where once I lived
within your heart
still now –
I long to go

. . .

for a season ~

in this moment
I remember
everything I came to know
the way the rivers
gather to the sea –
the measure of a rainbow
bending soft against
the sand –
a miracle
still happening
to me

I remember
every kiss –
every touch was ever mine
the echo of my name
within the dark
a rush of swallows sailing –
blind within their faith
breathing out the song
that is
my heart

I remember how it was
that first bloom within the snow
searching for a reason –
for a season
not to go

living scattered sweetly
across ten thousand years
I remember
every lifetime –
I would wait
to find you here

. . .

not with words ~

remember me spring

there’s an field
beyond our seeking –
a place where we belong
the life we dreamed
no less
for living
another one

there’s a want
beyond the waking –
of winter wheat
and purple sword
where longing flows
the sweetest honey –
yet not
with words

there’s a silence
to all that matters
lest we grieve
for signs we missed
a truth we cannot speak of –
a promise
or a kiss

there’s a moment
I’ve heard tell –
blinding sunlight
of time displaced –
where love begins again
as always
from a memory
retraced

. . .

evidence of fate ~

night whispers

you could call it love
tho I might deem it something else –
an urgency shared
with an ancient moon
pressed into memory –
as evidence of fate
a need unresolved
longing so old
I’ve almost forgotten
how it feels
to be remembered

. . .

beyond this everafter ~

what of fate
could one life master
or one card played
impress the soul
with ways beyond –
this everafter
moments spared
not long ago

curs’ed vice
of indecision
which to choose
and which to let
become the proof
of resurrection –
restoring more than life
to death

. . .

thought erased ~

get me back, heart, life, love, soul, spirit memory, time

windowhome

for every time
another was –
some other life
I lived
as thought erased
yet given grace
how is it
I survived

with memories
I can’t replace –
can’t give a name
to every face
every kiss
to remember now
I missed
you

as trade again
on mortal sin
this one more life
to know –
another death
with your faithful breath
warm within
my soul

. . .

forever I’m falling ~

leaving

will beyond
longing
truth without voice –
souvenirs kept
in a box by the door
heart seeking purpose
in all I’ve begun
lifetimes forsaken –
how many before

same old dreams
same sweet story
beginning an end
was made long ago –
what can I say
forever
I’m falling
tis all that I am
all that I know

. . .
