Making mountains out of trenches
Growing roots connecting
Healing broken paths empty
Life abounding arising
Remaking returning
Unleashing spores free
To be born again

Making mountains out of trenches
Growing roots connecting
Healing broken paths empty
Life abounding arising
Remaking returning
Unleashing spores free
To be born again

In the sweet bye and bye
Everyday entreat
Hourly mystique
Receive a gentle word
You heard last week
The call of song
Echoing through trees
Tiny drops of dew
Swaying on leaves
Neither force of nature
Or crowd to please
Could take away
The sweetness of being
Here in the present
Surrounded by good things
Inspired by the love
Of good friends
Like a butterfly sanctuary
Remembering how to keep
Love safe and free
Keeping her memory
With me

A mountain spring
Cool and clear
Need to live
The more I have
The more I give
Keeping me
Away from edge
Steadying me
Dizzy head
Giving out
Above and beneath
The surface
Giving beauty and life
To everything

To me, I'll take it
You keep me
On the straight
And narrow
You hold me
On the bends
Your smile and feet
Go fore me always
All the ways to
Land's end

On the turning away
Entering into void
Sideless convex slope
Taking you down
Into space
Ejecting lifeless forms
Breathless pressure
Tender organs
Enveloped in atmosphere
Another world
Return to firmness
Cheek against ground
Gasped as one
Breathing their first
Looking around
Chrystal clear light
Shines all about
Reflections eyes
Smiling down
Speaking softly
Taking my arm
Astounded
Leading by hand
Counting my minutes
Since landing


Whether awake or asleep
A parallel reality
Woven from memory
Laced with dreams
Evades my spaces
Empty rooms
With music
On repeat
Behind closed eyes
Her face reminds me
Promises only keep
When stored safely
Entertaining
All kinds of things
Foreseeable future
Down by the sea
Takes my willing heart
On much needed holiday
While planting seeds
To grow all around me

Ethical nature
To draw one out
Protect from predators
When they hide
On the inside
Under rocks
Not out open
How easy to mistake
To mimic a threat
For safety
But scare away
Own mate
Funny how I know
When I decide to
Stop chasing
With words
That'll be the day
You turn around
In the heavy silence
Between us
Where only smiles
Are found

Tell her that you love her
If not with words
Any other thing
Without a doubt
Most important
Need to know
Life or death
By an inch
Holding one
Away from cliff
Sudden drop away
To vast ocean
Of loneliness
Tell her simply
For vast open sky
Meets horizon
High and deep
Where love consumes
Our solitude
We float away
To worlds unknown
Forever

All done through the night
Holding on to the next
Wondering aimlessly
Hoping for return
Falling softly
Blossoms surround
Lift my face
Above them all
How to prevent
Idea of you
Growing so tall
Looking into you
