grampa's winters

were memories
around us pulled
comfort to the still
where once the pearls
of laughter
burned us down

moonlight sits
on dirty panes
spring forgot to clean
when caught up in the living
let them go

hands confessed
of others known –
tenderness of time
places kept beyond the reach
of all we hoped to find
granny's star
mistletoe
but who can know
of words denied to kiss
silver bells are ringing
can’t you hear

packages for wrapping
string the lights around
tend the fire
and let the solace in

cards along the mantle
tell of better days
but written to the soul
a kinder pen

. . .

within

o precious redeemer
hold tighter
I pray –
and garner my heart
with your wonderous grace

know me
bestow me
paths you have laid
grant me the courage
to turn not away
from the living
forgiving
of choices long made
that I might endure
every kiss
every blade

in pleasing
releasing
both laughter and tears
joys spilled over
to the places of fear
of becoming
the only
of always I am
a snowflake in autumn
a flaw in the plan

of pathways
and patience –
my purpose to find
eternity already come
and I never willing
silent to sit
while life dances by
on the lawn

turning
returning
spinning in place
lost in a moment
floating in space
living and dying
forever
today

to lose
to be broken
to be torn
and be healed
remembering light
as a scar to my soul
born into breath
this morning
again –
with nothing to keep
and all now to hold

mercies
how tenderly
each one revealed
and somewhere
they worry for me
swirling
unfurling
as leaves falling down
love waiting only
to be

time after time ~

almost touching

starting to see
without sense of the loss
seasons rushed by
nearly blind
caught in the passing
of love into life
forgotten to paths
fell behind

making our way
from pages turned brown –
stories retold now again
passions made true
as embers to burn
than e’er was the flame
to begin

starting
and leaving –
letting us in
long after time
has forgiven our trust
roads cross the same
on the way back to here –
nights never looking
for us

bursted
from light –
at edges unknown
were moments for keeping
this way
dreams bare the promise
we dared never speak
of love –
such a small price
to pay

waiting
for reasons
confessed to the wind –
dearer this fate to allow
remembering wonder
of living relearned –
winters
a part of us now

. . .

day of nights ~

veil

of dates and times
the map considers –
rivers span eternities
frigid depths
of icy splinters
ring the gates of destiny

compass worn
by wishful thinking
one more day of nights
shall come
burning white within the darkness
gathered now our souls
to home

mystery denied solution
what of life
is waiting still
what of breath
shall leave me living
more than time
the moss to seal

pardon come
with sure forgiveness
all that was – is now
the same
rivers flow
eternal waters –
carry life
from whence we came

. . .

signs

where
and now
the page is turning
hands are moving back in time –
stories of afar remembered
last we were
the first to find

hand in hand
afraid for nothing –
gentle rains to hide our tears
fragile breath
to winds returning
– signs of life
surrendered here

essence come
and whispers parted
questioned why for this
we knew
something more than
stories telling –
answers lost
in passing through

verses bound
to one another –
secrets to each holy place –
sacred blossoms
fall together –
as seasons intervened
by grace

silent words
are want for hearing
longing begs one last release –
ribbons loosed by everafter –
float the dark
beyond the trees

heaven nowhere ~

mistook

rock me the cradle
was broken before
and warm not these lips
with regret
childless to walk
eternity’s night –
awaiting my sins to forget

wrapped in the darkness
survived by the womb
heaven nowhere
but my sleep
voices inside me
arguing so
and I without reason
or promise
to keep

loneliness dreams
in colors of grace
an almost forgotten shade
forever stood long
by the side of the bed
remembering life
unafraid

where will I go
when all I have left
are questions of
anger and shame
of sacred forgiveness
reserved not for me
demons shall carry
the weight
of my name

take of my slumber
grieving not once –
for a life
filled with reasons to die
curs’ed the ground
where peace finds no rest
as pain reconciled
to goodbye

rock me the cradle
was broken before
and warm not these lips
with regret
childless to walk
eternity’s night –
awaiting these sins to forget

trust

dare the night
betray the shadows –
needles passing time away
spun of wishes
silken sliver
as moondust
on my pillow lay

urged to sleep
by stark confession
of seasons passed
the way we came
broken dawn
against the dresser
leaks to blue
the windowpane

hours nest
beside the worries –
moments bound
by fate somehow
spoke the moon
beneath the shiver
who shall come
to save us now

starlight streams
on sheets of emerald
stretched beyond
the reach of night
wishes fade as one
to stillness –
weaving shadows
into light

. . .

faces to the sun ~

graced

within the silence
of the heart –
echoes of another
and lives so barely lived
were filled with light

trembled now
the tired soul –
spilled as prayer with sorrow
asking for but one
a truth revealed

wash upon these places
ease beyond the night –
but rob us not
the memory
of their love

guard the sleep
of dreamers –
wake them slow to peace
fearless to embrace
another morn

sweeter now
the whispered hope
revived from long ago –
promising a life
beyond this life

smiles remembered
everywhere –
where healing is begun
angels wait familiar now –
as faces to the sun

. . .

not the same ~

of tears

show to the fallen
the strength into flying –
the broken
of bliss to reclaim
the place we were going
was yesterday here
we walked through a world
not the same

assurance
the word we dare
not remember –
take not of these for thy own
blind me believing
another hereafter
is written to pages
unknown

of all
and of none –
of every we are
together no different
the way
warned of the flame
held without love –
and left unprepared
for the pulling away

bless us
forgive us
grant us compassion
for more than the grieving
connecting us all
help us in holding –
the world for our reaching
for the one who sits broken
tomorrow shall fall

familiar

of skies
beyond your flicker
I can’t say that I’ve seen –
or whether there is life
beyond my dreams

of faraways
I can’t recall
the ways to here I came –
or where was left the signs
along the night

promises forgotten
to the roads I walk alone –
tho taken of my will
to turn around

echoes force
their way inside
lately now I shudder
against the verse
forgotten not
to rhyme

of all I know
another time –
familiar
unremembered –
paths across my skin
have disappeared
