Sitting here
looking at you
taking you in
trying
with all my heart
to connect
to understand
to feel your pain
But, there is no need
you’ve been here
a long, long time
and your pain
has always been with you
because
pain birthed you
and you turn it
into something beautiful
Among the greens
the blue
blue light of her soul
shines her song
of loneliness
The blue light of her soul
gives pause to reflect
upon the way of
time's immortality
It is how we reflect
that allows her to sing
those waves of solitude
Her song reaches
farther into the night
Where we need her light.
in a world
where beings inhale
the stuff of life
I find myself breathless
where to breathe
this
stuff of life
consumes, confuses and constricts me
If I were a tree
no birds would rest
no squirrels would play
for the leaves are falling
and Spring has forsaken me
Innocence in the moment
of
Change
Sudden it comes
Sudden it awakens innocence
Sudden it reveals
and within a whisper of time
the rain departs
leaving its scent of eternity
and our newness

My latest piece written on Typetrigger
how this time
this, impossible feeling of
distance
I feel such a longing for
longevity
yet at the same time
I feel its breath
begin to cremate
and I feel, also
her kisses
kissing me to feel
the distance
for it is such a distance
where the language of sorrow
echoes along the path
from the fires
those joyful fires,
breathing
breathing
their pleasured pain
Beyond the window
a stillness oozes
from leaf to leaf
in a slow porridge of time
The only movement
a passing dart of wing
on its way home
If only the sun
would infuse me
with some of itself
so I could see
the pace of time
the stretch of light
its soul of dark
our fragile flight
A Gap In The Clouds
