I found myself today
I had been lost in the moment
as I walked toward a distant light
I looked upward to see the most brilliant blue
but not to feel it; I breathed deeply
without holding my shallow breath
Beauty filled these brimming eyes as
I stood before an ever-changing world
I saw the hope of my future while
the despair of my past faded from view
And although death’s darkness had
stolen irretrievable bits of my heart
life firmly grasped my waiting hands
I’m waiting for you
beneath the tree, in a chair
change everything if you dare
colors; the feel of the air
Oh, a leaf fell in my hair
Hurry back to me
spread your breeze across my skin
rustle trees and then
teach the leaves to dance again
I’ve missed you so, my dear friend
No hands doth a heart have
How then can it hold love
carry burdens heavy
or touch another’s
This vessel which feels
passion, pain, love
without end of depth
hath no need of these
nor limbs of any sort
for it holds, carries,
touches, feels in ways
hands could never
unless they turn to ash
Damaged or broken
still it beats on
physically whole
the shattering silent
to ears and eyes
while longing
for hands
to hold it
