let me speak
not of fear
but allowing for grace
would learn more
by loving each one
carried as verse
over moments rehearsed
and long still for curses
undone
let me rise
as a summer
glimmered with light –
and rolled past the blue
as a bird into flight
let me float on the wishes
unheard by the stars
and found still to others
unsaid –
guarded from death
by the promise of birth
and shadows come round
as a light ‘cross my bed
let me speak of forever
in tones soft and sweet –
and stall not the vision
of one day to meet
as was written before
unto tablets of stone –
let me love
as was loved –
e’er before love was known
let me give
not of grief a place here to stay
or wait as the night
comes slow to the day
were memories bound
to a place on the sand –
or warmth made much more
than hands wrapped
in hands
let me live
let me wander –
as my days would allow
give me bliss
unsurrendered –
each forever
to now
