Last Stands

"hearts carry no shields...

and the field
won't look like one of battle

it never does"

The Remembering

"Where have you gone to?

Doctors and the Powers that be
had other plans for you.

I took you into the son
and we painted your dreams
on fresh walls
murals of hope
and paint looks so lovely
when it's wet.

This rain was a surprise...

I know we talked about
the day it could come.
I just didn't think it would
be today.

I'm sorry, little one...

The river is the same
but it's always new

The river
is the same
but it's
always new..."

Sunday's Lullaby

Because I can't tell you
Because you
perhaps
already know

You look happy now
I just want you
to stay that way

just awhile longer

Looking Back

If Not For You I...

"...would have left this behind

I wouldn't be by this river
or waiting for this long off spring

By my own hand I would have by night
put this upon an alter to burn
or left
to float the red current of longing
to the sea

But not for I to choose is it?
Not after all this time and
I know Your voice too well to turn
or away look to another

So at this bank
I ask once more

bring this spring
you so long ago
painted beneath my winter..."
