In your aftermath…

You are the river
Running thought me
Comforting, unabashed today…
But tomorrow…
Flooding me with your
Boastful aggression.
Still, the battered banks
Of my youth
Continue to hold you,
Growing Wildly lush
In your aftermath.

Revival

You held your breath for so long
eventually, I had to draw your essence
out of you, and a relieved sigh
escaped from your cold blue lips

Pulling your distance into my nearness

If you are the sea
then I am the moon
pulling your distance
into my nearness

Nightlight

In the nightlight
Love undresses
layer by layer
until
it stands naked
holding nothing
but itself

Little Hope

Hold my hand, little hope
Don’t let me go astray
I cannot sail without your wind
Lift my sails, I pray

Lead my ship to better shores
Where I can find some rest
I cannot sleep without your dreams
So build for them a nest
And Place it in my weary heart
To give my soul some rest

Sing for me, little hope
Don’t fly away so soon
Brush your wings against my heart
And my heart will sing in tune

Hold my hand, little hope
Don’t let me go astray
I cannot fly without your wings
Carry me, I pray
