014 – mending

dreams, today, for the mending
of torn souls and frayed edges
and the sounds of the ocean
left in the waves at my feet.

013 – ma

my peace, to rest my soul in your lap,
my heaven, to lay at your feet.

Poem 012 – secrets

in my waking eyes
dreams for what tomorrows bring;
and secrets only you and i know,
only you and i see,
only that you and i breathe.

Poem 011 – wonder

my footsteps still echo
near stories whispered
by bonfires ~

and wonder still lives | outside my window

010 – awakening

church bells | call me back to living

009 – deliverance

persistence then, for broken chains and
moments of words between silences
suspended mid-air; for tender moments
asleep, unseen. persistence, today, for
fledgling joy sprouting new wings.

008 – tendrils

fallen from grace,
my tendrils of life
in these gardens you’ve planted -

and still, i send you peace.

007 – kernel

from rest | will spring life

006.2 – of me

speak to me of serentiy;
       of plum blossoms
and gazing into waterfalls. of
    simplicity and closely guarded prayer -

speak to me of me today

006 – home

glittering lights
    a waking city -
in the breaking dawn
    the road home.
