i shall wait
wherever heavens
are traded
another good morning
a sweeter sunrise
i shall gather
whatever days i have left
and steal
to shadows
let loose
by the night
i shall sit in the quiet
of every
forever
wake while
the stars are still new
i shall swear
my allegiance
to places we loved
ten million canyons
devoted
to you
i shall make
of this prayer
some other remains
recalled to wherever
heaven
exists
silence made heavy
by words
i recall
as the breath
of my name
given back
by your kiss

how welcome this
deserving ease –
a hand to know me well
words to congregate
as destinies
to start
lest i know
the way was always
more than i could reason
cleft for you
a home within my heart
tis only this
remembering
how it was
that afternoon –
held beneath
a span of wanting pines
wondered at this place
a beginning
waited long
love that could be measured
as a consequence –
a sigh
. . .

whatever has passed
echoes of summer
as last year’s winter
three feet below
a remembrance of grace
petals emerging –
revealed as the spring
to our soul
for moments like this
will is forsaken
dreams we let sleep
another one day
far past the morning
came as desire
to seal our forgiveness –
to steal us away
. . .

was a night
whiskey stopped working
haunted hands
held at the gate
where once tempted
by angels
or so it was thought
some other
one day –
heaven was here
unburdened by death
sweet as a voice
to remember
me home
to a place almost
not forgotten
again –
what was left to surrender
of loves
i have known
. . .

gather me home
before the light scatters
tell me again
of coffee you crave
stay in my arms
a moment
much longer
than yesterday’s news
another to save
i won’t have
i won’t listen
lest the curtains fall
aching –
shattering silence
with more of the same
a delicate balance
your kiss
my salvation
a moment awakened –
remembered
by name
. . .

were there words
i didn’t know
at rest beneath my bed
left to die
another
some fine day
verses i allowed
to be gathered like a curse
can’t feel them here
can’t know of them
lest they came
to stay
i didn’t know
i didn’t know
to bear the crush
of seasons –
leaves in crimson shades
yellow beams
of flight
let me feel
let me see
of things i never knew
words i never
thought
would let me be
. . .

i have waited
with nothing of story
to wait
no pages left barren
i knew yet to write
how was it to know
how much
should i care
when the years
have gathered
black to the lines
crossing the porch
some nights
as i prayed
another would come
sunlight would break
out on the pasture
i loved
as i love
prayed for a moment
to know
as i know
i could be
as i am
everything
. . .

heaven was never
so real
she confessed
one morning when coffee
could hear
as she gazed past the windows
far past the gate
a pull from forever
as want fell away
she remembers how easy
how sweetly
his need –
a place she was saved
by his touch
heaven was never
this dearly imagined
warm as the sun
in september
we loved
. . .
