lest we worry
love will matter
when ten thousand years
are gone
when all our hopes
are scattered
as dark before the dawn
tender places
we are saving –
in each others arms
to stay
chasing whispers of forever –
when the world has
passed away
let me tarry
with the sunrise
close your eyes and sleep again
there’s a dream
that shares your story –
I’ll be there
to let you in
. . .

she takes her poison
after tea –
before her evening shows
she spins around
the kitchen
and wonders
if he knows
how much of her
remains with him
despite the miles between
how much of her
is captive
to his dreams
once she starred
in color
almost every night
he whispered
while the coffee brewed
for he loved to see her smile
she knows the way
she counts the ways –
every stone by heart
as steps beyond the barn
into the dark
naked feet on hardwood
face against the door –
staring down the darkness
with faith in something more
how much of life is taken
by the breath
that bears us home
a name that tastes the same
is ours alone
. . .

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
. . .

sometimes
a whole day passes
and I am left the same –
no less than words would bury
a shadow of me remains
some nights
I fear the crying
of night birds on the rise –
thought is splintered into rhyme
and I dare not close
my eyes
sometimes
I wake beyond the dream
where there’s no proof of us –
no morning I might trade again
for the memory
of your touch
it’s not the same
we’re not the same
as once we were a longing filled
it seems my mind has forgotten –
what my soul
remembers still
. . .

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
