Caught a glimpse of you
It parted persistent
Heavy cloud cover
Light penetrated
Darkest places
Waking breath
Laced with sunshine
You on my mind
First breath

My grieving for loss of
You changed me
But I'd never want
To change back
Sink in
Silvery blue sheen
A veil covering
Wild creatures deep
Rising to shallows
Flash past my feet
Ray of speckled flight
Effortless grace
Takes my heart skipping
Into the waves
Arise completely changed
On becoming
Belonging can be
A divided word
Home on one side
Ownership the other
How to become mine
Alone?
Inner peace
Bobbing on the verge
Southern Ocean
Paddling along the cusp
Apex breeding grounds
Rise and fall tide surge
Rocks inner core
Evading the inevitable
Return to reality
The sea calls to me
Like a lover every
Sleepy morn
Through ancient eyes
These trees have seen it all
Though shores have known much more
Echo
Modern self love platitudes
How could it help her?
Bound by an image and reflection
Unable to take in her own
Tend it, the shape of her
For another more worthy
Of her beauty within
Only his own face
In the mirror
While hers wastes away
A prison of smoking mirrors
Illusions never fade
So why pine away?
Every weekend, unobtainable
Wondering will they see
My light before it's out
Leaving only a remnant
A voice on a page
Grounded
Afterall the unqualified
Messages we sent
With tone, eyes
We did not receive
What we'd earned
It went to another
Who holds onto our prize
For dear life
Taken, solemnity remains
She was my rom com
But now I am stayed
In the zone where
Friends are treasured
For decades
Wake
In the wake
Of darkness
Turbulence
Smooths over
I have learned
To love
Without her
All above
Well may we adore
An open book
A bird's song
A flower in spring
More than anything
To find a love
Where hope's restored
Is worth well more
Than all above
Count the stars of heaven
