If I could walk beside you e’er
I’d do it without thought
For you are like the very air
Treasure that can’t be bought

8/5/2023 – so haggard
So haggard do I oft return
To home’s warm comforts and solace
8/4/2023 – a life with you
A life with you
Is peaceful
Yet thrilling
Is right
Yet strange
Is fulfilling
Yet filled with a longing for the horizon
A life with you
Is sailing by the stars
Is flying through mountains
Is burrowing in the earthen warmth
In winter
A life with you
Would be a wondrous thing
Has been a perfect thing
Is everything
And more
A life with you
Will be something
Inexpressibly amazing
8/2/2023 – maelstrom
A maelstrom rages
Deep in my heart
Where swirling currents crash
And roar
8/1/2023 – horizon
I yearn for what’s beyond yon line
The one stretching along my sight
The one that reaches north to south
The one that promises me tales untold
7/29/2023 – beyond the veil
Heavy comes the rain
Hot blows the wind
Stifling is the air
Yet beyond the veil
A brighter sun
A cooler breeze
A renewed earth
7/28/2023 – every sense
Without you here within my sight
I fall upon a shadowed road
As if the whole world fell to night
And took back every sense it had bestowed
7/26/2023 – so little
so little am I ‘mongst the stars
7/25/2023 – candles to the sun
Your smile
A balm
Unlike any
No salve nor poultice
Of earthly mean
Could seem to teem with such
Life
As candles to the sun
Are they
7/22/2023 – before
A thought have I
Of horizons
Forgotten
Abandoned
Or turned to steel
Of forests
Trampled
Burned
Or turned to square, unbreathing shelter
Of rivers
Redirected
Dammed
Or poisoned beyond recognition
Would that I could remember them
Before
