Air talking, had enough
Voice to ear is heard
Let silence be
Carried
Each word
1.01.02
Icy river seeps deep in veins
sending trembling waves
Dark blue moon, are you there?
Cold wind delivers uninvited chills
Shaking limbs shiver sans ceasing
Where is the warmth I’m seeking?
Though frozen current stings
skin rubbed raw serrate air
Still hunting heart fire burning
Glowing coals eternal
Watch over us, guide us with grace
To turn tide toward love
When fears we name and bravely face
12.28.01
Packed in cotton head to toe
How much pain she’ll never know
Burned before, down to the quick
Wrapped in suave to do the trick
Hips moan aching, bound up tight
Heart left breaking, holed up light
Pull yellow ray, unravel mesh
Unwind yarn told, make winding nest
Story victim, thriller small
Hurt by others, lovers all
Tug tale’s tail, make believe
Misplaced heart still on her sleeve
Round and round, mind play fight
Long sob story, painful plight
Underneath, more sagas lie
Wound and wound, more reasons why
To keep them now would hide true face
Lest pretense shed, redeem in grace
Bound unbound, frame limber and free
Reveal the gift God placed in me.
