Float with me here
Where the clouds break
Under a sky of gods
Over a storied place
Full of ancient tales
And ancient words
And ancient wisdom
That we might find a way
To breathe air long unbreathed
And know things
Long forgotten

2/25/2023 – fleeting moments
Each age is a season
Each year but an hour
The days fleeting moments
2/22/2023 – ever there
I listen
And you call out
I watch
And you appear
I wait
And you come
2/17/2023 – come a day
There will come a day
When we will hear all the grasses sing
And see all the paints upon a bright world
There will come a day
When we will feel the stories underfoot
And know by name the voices on the wind
And when that day comes
I will hold you
And you me
And we will walk as stars across the sky
2/10/2023 – dawn
Dawn breaks
And the birds awaken
And the boughs creak
‘Neath the wind
2/7/2023 – a wiser thing
As the last frost melts
I will harvest what grew
From the seeds
Deep in my soul
Embraced in the cold
Guided through the storms
And if the stars will it
Emerge unbitten by that frost
A wiser thing
Than I was before
2/2/2023 – grey upon grey
The grey winter
Tightens its unseen grip
Silently
Wordlessly
Enveloping all around
Until such a time
As the emergence of the sun
Would go unrecognized
1/30/2023 – lightyears
Bring that brightest starlight
That it might light the way
Toward a better future
That when the stars at last can see us
They are pleased
1/27/2023 – for what do I fret
For what do I fret
When such riches lay at my feet?
The warmth of a fire,
The smells of a hot meal,
The noises of the beasts
And the words of a lover?
For what do I fret
When all I need, I have?
1/24/2023 – none else in the world
I have but one desire
Alas that it is not mine to keep
For I make not the winds
Nor the streams
That will carry you
I make not the destinies
That the Fates
Have written for us
Yet still I shall hold to you
For there is none else in the world
For me
