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
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
Herein contains
All the words
I cannot say
Though truly
Misses lost ones
That can't be said
With words
A warm igloo
In frozen tundra
A shady oasis
In desert down under
A cool clear pool
On white hot sands
A fresh trout stream
On vast open lands
A ripe berry vine
In dry scrub bush
A quiet space
In mid city rush
Elemental forces
We cannot contain
She comes to me
Like a forest fire
Cleansing opening
Ingiting on the breeze
Spreading seeds
Clearing debris
What holds us fast
From inevitable pain
We search seemingly
Aimlessly
It is always there
Hiding plain sight
A thrilling dare
To make it known
Love is never
In vain
How can it be?
That silence can change
From champion heavyweight
To a breath waylaid?
When a flurry
Of digi-noises invade
Our inner ears
On daily basis
Silence means
Solitude
Isolation
Reflection
Rejection
Empty soundscape
Says none
Alive or near
Stillness
Has its moments
By a brook
In a book nook
Anticipating
Laughter and tears
Felt so hard
No sound escapes
If brainwaves were
Attuned to instruments
Symphonies played
Between my ears
On royal highs
And splendid lows
Ticking monotones
Of my years
Silent support act
To showcase the star
Like imagining someone
Playing guitar
While Billie brazenly
Sings the Blues
For me
The crack in the wall
Glowing bright
In the darkness
Of a moonless night
Slipstream taking us
To other worlds
Underworld
Dark overlords
Time stands still
On this side
While senses ride
Down cavernous divide
Only one
In multiple galaxies
With loyal friend
Can evade its tricks
Old timey-wimey thing
Keeps pushing
The big button
To Who knows where
Do you dare or
Do I dare?
Come with me
Home in time
For tea
I want to believe
In heroes
See monsters
Buried at sea
The people who
Rise up and save
Kind and brave
Folk and lore
Echoes of time
Eternal
Count the stars of heaven
