In The Summer

Standard

In the summer

We were free.

Life’s waves crashed

At our feet.

I could hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

Above the wind,

Above the rush.

I could hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

As we ran until we were

Breathless.

As our salty lips brushed

And our

Hair tangled.

As we fell to the shore

Spent.

Still.

Loved.

Tell me

Sweet soul,

Are you still loved?

Even now I feel your

Heartbeat

On my skin.

Even now I hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

Lie Next To Me

Standard

Lie next to me

In the sweet green grass

And

Watch the clouds defy gravity.

Whisper the truths of your soul to

My heart.

Only you can be the end;

Let the healing begin.

Only you can make a new start.

Feel the energy of the earth

Pulse through your bones

As the last glimmer of light fades away.

Lie in the silence

And

Breath in the magic of life

While

We make a wish

On the first star of the night.

The Great Wilderness

Standard

I reopened the gate

And went out into

The

Great

Wilderness.

There I returned to the

Life

I new

As a child

And became

The

Peace

I have always carried.

For the birds welcomed me.

The wind embraced me.

The trees received me with a timeless remembering.

The dirt infused my senses with vivification.

The sky opened up in my heart

And the sun became a friend to my soul again.

I recalled this is where I belong.

There,

In

The

Great

Wilderness,

I did live

Once

More.

Raw And Gritty

Standard

Raw and gritty.

Poetic and pretty.

We choose our savior

Or poison

And hemorrhage ink.

Black and white.

Flat.

Words a medium through which

We express

Love,

Life,

Hope

And loss.

Alone,

Until they are shared in perfect sequence.

Our secrets no longer our own.

Emotions that have not a singular name;

There we find we are the same.
