whatever

all things

I have flown
above the birds,
beneath your breast,
beyond all words,
linger resident,
on your mind.

No respite, love
unyielding, God enabled,
blood and bone seeking,
the unfathomable.
All things draw,
through my hands.

Writhe betwixt,
her fabled strands,
I’ve relished the wind,
relinquished light,
requited all things,
for my soul.

hungry heart

she appeared one ashen day,
in the place he once prayed.
she crossed her heart crossed the line,
and in battered chairs of bitter minds,
rationalized. . . all of the reasons why.
but the hungry heart is a lonely guide.

bird

wings in wind
translucent in  silvery air
all my dreams fly with her
bird take my memories
take my heart, my spirit to
I need to fly
to fly with you

bird don’t leave me here
fallen feathers just won’t do
I can’t touch the earth
nor beautifully soar
on wings of despair
I don’t know how to fly
don’t know how to fly

bird can you see me
sea wind feels so nice
but it’s taking you far
beyond the shore
the only nest I know
is locked in your heart
I need a place to go
somewhere to go

********

true

I paint stillness,
I paint what is true,
trusting none
but my eyes
I paint  beauty
the moment it dies
I paint the sigh
I paint the light
of the only One
