if ever
for my words you ache
just listen for the night –
the steady drum
of stars succumb
to heaven chasing light
the cry of crickets
fiddles ring
as shadows round are cast
cedar boughs
forgiven now –
are kneeling on the grass
the stir of
night birds waking
to find another song
things I might have told you
– they will hold you
when I’m gone
. . .

age, blessing, closer still, courage, forgiveness, grace, life, love, redemption, still, surrender, time, where you are
when I’ve taken the last
of faith that was given
and turned my back
to the wall –
to wonder how long
this grace
might deliver
when broken each vow
my heart can recall
when I’ve lost
what had saved me –
words where pages lie still
a map once was traced
to the sands of my soul
lest I wander
without want
to be filled
dare me remember
the ways I was carried
and nights I sought peace
in the dark
move me to center
align me with light –
so that grace
seeks to find me
no matter how far

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
. . .

so much of me
some you don’t know
– poems I have written
on my soul
I can’t tell you
I won’t tell you
how it is
I’ve surrendered you
remembered you
another day –
again
so much
and who am I
to remind you what is real
of moments come
this destiny to steal
wait for me
at twilight
out beyond the fence
I will show you then
how I love
. . .

almost always, awakened, here, life, light, love, open heart, sometimes, still, time, trust, willing
were not for these –
these open arms
this willing heart
reminders
the warmth of love becoming
another distant day
when by some other path
I came –
with want for one redemption
were not these eyes
permitted sight –
light
to see your face
. . .

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
. . .

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
. . .

what’s your hurry
getting nowhere
I can’t say it matters much
but I sure
wish
you’d ease your leaving
stick around
for one more touch
baby
I’m already missing
another chance for staying on
tho I’ll be safe
inside your crazy –
when nights are dark
years
too long
stick around
I’ll make you love me
tell your fortune nice and slow –
trade a dream
for one more morning
stick around
baby please
don’t go
. . .

divine intimacy, heart, home, life, love, sometimes, soul, spirit, still, story, the days between, time, truth, words, writing in the dark
I will speak
while still with voice
the heart recalls a psalm
and strings
somewhere playing
I was there
another home
a distance more than this
than the way behind
remembered
stories dwell
within my blood
beckon from the page
truths that I’ve forgotten
how to tell
. . .
