more of me
is just this much
a season born of wasting
waves where once
the colors scattered
sweetly to the day
were crushed beneath
our summer slippers
waltzing past
the meadow’s green
touch so fleeting –
who remembers
where we were
when we flew away

Whatever truth
I’ve come to know –
the promise (holding still)
though times before
I cried without remorse
forsaken then
the best of love
as pieces reconsidered
I’ve taken all
(I’ll take it one more time)
hope which is eternal
spends a many night with me
and hardly ever
tears without the smile
a ladder back
with room to share –
someday Sunday morning
across a page
sometimes (I see you there)
without the words
(forgiven)
the answers fell apart
and who was there
to tell us when to stop
were not for chance
the lover’s dance
spilled beyond the music
sit with me as daylight falls –
on places we’ve become
no need to grieve –
for leaving won’t be long
always now
the echoes ring –
as lanterns
frame the doorway
I won’t make room for sorrow
in my bed
for all the times
of holding on –
comes now another sunrise
forever waits the door
to let us in

take from me
these soiled streams
these tired limbs (still reaching)
cleanse with me the river
that I love
breathe to my surrender –
light into my light
whenever tired
my crying eyes to see
beyond this place –
where I am whole
beyond what others worry
– am I to be made holy
by you(r hands)
from that which was
the best remains (by grace)
the truth remembers
as love to fill me
(this I know)
your soul –
as one (I am)

of who I am
I’ve been told –
there’s resemblance to the rest
but something none can name
that is my own – my wilderness
a mystery of purpose
each subtle stroke of light
wrong made sense in waiting
for the promises
of sight
hands to work
and heart to seek
the ways we came and why
I’d choose again (this choosing)
would live again to die
to find renewed
the places kept –
though mortal essence fades
within my soul (eternal)
are seeds of love we made
no less than now –
and dearer still
as each new day begins
love becomes a tapestry –
of stories told again
watch for me
(familiar) as another sun draws nigh ~
listen for my spirit
in the memory of a sigh
returned again
as times before to find
forever come –
another strand of love to weave
in destinies of one

waiting
and unafraid
unafraid to be seen (to see)
trusting of love
(the truest) to go
wherever I would go
(even as I must dream)
away the dark
restored the light
as love (might I declare)
my only proof
when pieces fell
(and fit) together there
destinies are now
(beginning)
and where I am
no trace of me
exists remembered
but what was left
of lessons
(come to be)
when given light
(circles into circles)
balance for the fear(ed)
was not for me
important as the dance
(of unafraid)
sparrows breech the clouds
as angels flock
(beneath)

for moments
gladly waiting
and years rolled into years
would sorrow sit –
I begged him please
to go –
I hold myself
and wrap my arms
around this sweet becoming
salvation
feels the same
when winter slows
softer now the leaves
beneath my
naked feet –
chestnuts roll
the banks (and wash away)
criers cry
as morning doves
wait in loving echoes
earnest comes the sun
into the day

my grandmother knew
as grandmothers know
when first they held us to light
something (but who has the words
to describe it)
hush (now the sins of) your heart
take it down
burn the bed
whispering flutters
madness to meaning
though everyone shades (their soul)
from the truth
a sign unexpected
broken and scattered
there goes the star
now ahead
won’t say a thing
about stories repeated
things we might know
(we don’t know)
messages can’t be heard
above screaming
where I am (listening)
grandmother knows

within my understanding
there’s a lot that I don’t know
some clouded
recollection
of a time before I passed
glimmering existence
to others (might have been)
aware the circumstance
of my condition
differences made clearer
by lessons fated there
and where I was –
e’en now
I can’t recall
what I knew
of other worlds – I knew
I didn’t know
poppies swirled in lavender
and steel
was there before
I turned again
and noticed I was gone
forgotten now the taste
that was my name

I know
you’d never know it
by the way
you hold your gin
but there are lines
around your eyes
I can’t resist
there’s a far away
(I wonder) do you know it
even now
there’s a place you go
where nothing much exists
yet I remain
as was before
and wait for your return
no matter to the time
or space between
for only this
a moment passed
and I am once again
touching you
in worlds
beyond your dream

the distance wearies
truth the same feeling
last night ~
I saw you
at the edge of the light
you were caught in the shimmer
never meant me to see
lest I think you were more
than over me now
the light was just fading
how amazing the colors
of jasper to elm
persimmon to fate ~
slowed in my memory
a moment of lifetimes
(breathe)
even now
I can scarce concentrate
on forever so different
than those of our season
we sang
and we laughed ~
and we wrote it all down
~ as pages created
to the curve of a shoulder
places where breast meets with bone
as my story
the tale of my longing
repeated
makes no difference
the time or the rules (we allow)
as a stirring within
I can’t say I blame you ~
what it means
(just a glimmer)
though different somehow
suffice for believing
as the first time
the last time
a sometime (I waited)
these reasons to know
more than existence
from sunrise to setting ~
places burn still
in the depths of my soul
like the way your hand
melts into mine
(remember)
the way the light clings
to shadows of then ~
was there for a moment
I saw you ~
and for ages
I held you again
