Future thinking laid out
Like a thin grey line
Where the ocean
Meets the sky
Boundless heights
Unfathomable depths
Unknown spaces touch
In surface tension
Breaks, bubbles
Waves and drifts
Freedom to exist
Between them
Floating on a breeze
Between continents, adrift
A breath of indifference
Can stifle the mood
Drain colour in landscape
Surrounded in gloom
Billions of raindrops
Illuminated by sun
Four seasons in one
Summer come
Contentment came naturally
Stillness wrapped fondly
Hope prolonged willingly
Atmosphere pregnant
Calm absorbed easily
When standing inside
Where storm chasers hide
Rush of alternate reality
In the epicentre
As chaos abounds
Words flung around
Presence resides
With you
A homing pidgeon
Taking away
To far off places
Letting go
Watching, waiting
Every day
Hoping praying
She'll come home
When she does
Cheers of joy
The sound of
Two wings flapping
White spread feathers
Fantails
Always wondering -
If she flies
In own direction
Wondering whether
She'll be alright
This night
Landing softly on my feet
After jumping
Off a cliff
In the dark
Claws out
Behind me
A sparrow turns
Says to me
This I do
Frequently
Pecking up seed
Nature cared
To scatter
Just for me
Eyeing another
Diving so flippantly
Decided to free fall
In her slip stream
A warm blanket of air
Covers over my landing
Softly swiftly
With ease
Taking in all surroundings
Tracks on repeat no match
Choosing songs for new life
Old one despatched
Morning wake up call
Lunch time serenade
Evening retreat
Love crush parade
Can you have too much
Of a good thing?
I'd like to try
Reality sinking in
Stockholm's cold
So's my toes
A fire is stoked inside
Where wind can't blow
What's in a name?
Call me what you will
Mother no longer
Babes named me, Lili
A sweet song
Their voices chime
Familiar tunes
Family tones
Voices leave tracks
Erasing time
Cover over old lines
Glorious overgrowth
Women swoon
Swinging low
Crooning over
Heartfelt show
Spurning strife
Tunes tall tower
Mire a moat
Pale in power
Building castles
In my mind
No need for search
Songs always find
Love's soundtrack
In my life
A cassette tape
Wondering which side
To play
The part where
You sang my song
Asked me over
Then all went wrong
Ever since
A pencil stuck
Winding the wheel
Twisted reel
Crimped ribbon
Sticky tape
Hoping praying
Put it back
Will play
That song
Again
Small town blues
Speaks volumes
Unearth allies
When in love
They nod and say
Splendid
Hear animation
In every gesture
When faced with her
Only stillness
Silence
Confusion
Where's my chorus
Of witnesses
Who've heard how
Marvelous it is
To be in love
Yet mute
Blissful ignorance
What to do?
Everybody knows
How I feel
Save you
At the mercy
Of the peril
Lost for the words
Everybody knows
When we are falling
Apart
We need someone to
Remember
Who we were when
Younger
Taller
Darker
Slender
Putting back together
Pieces
Of our bodies and how we
Connect
In our own story, chosen
Family
Those people who inspire
Courage
Surround yourself with
Love
The day is all we've got
Whether apart or
Together
Arms that hold
Wherever you roam
Far and wide
Dark and cold
Ears that hear
All the words
Voice rises high
Mine consoles
Mind that tends
To every thought
Never abandoned
Knows its want
Eyes that appeal
To the pain
An unknown future
May be regained
The nature of us all
Interwined betwixt
Soil like black gold
Sky liquid silk
Hidden stories told
Under soled feet
Rubber hits the road
Dreams and days meet
A secret underground
Threads tie us all
Telling tales of
Magnificent scale
Beauty so minute
Rare mysterious
No telling where
It wanders
Growing silently
Inside me
Just below
The surface
Waiting patiently
To arise
Tentative to touch
Hesitant to taste
A glorious surprise
If arrived
Just in time
For me
Count the stars of heaven
