Always Held

Standard

I have been the waves that carried you home

When you were lost at sea.

I was the the rain that fell upon your

Weary head

And

Quenched your thirst.

I have been the desert that left you dry and helplessly

Crawling;

The oasis in the sand.

I was the sky that held you up so long ago

And the stars you have wished upon.

But

In this life;

I am the arms that hold you.

Yes,

My heart has always held you.

Got Lost

Standard

Not long ago I got lost in an Italian town.

(Honestly I have been lost more than once this lifetime)

Looming stone walls.
Narrow walk ways.
Monks conversing
And
Children playing ball
On the cobblestone.
My heart began thumping
And my mind was a whirl.
I paused to retrieve my map

And realized
I left it with my bicycle.
My phone was dead.

(of course I remembered all of my camera gear

but I did forget to eat)
So caught up in the
Minute details;
My own world as i wondered and
wandered

That

I lost time;

I lost my way.
I then looked to the sky and caught my breath.
What a beautiful place to be lost and well.

I continued on my way then.
Wandering in no hurry
Until
I found myself back with my bike.

Sinking Ships

Standard

We were two sinking ships

Who could not quite

Reach each other in the squall.

Too

Overwhelmed and lost;

Arms too weakened to hold

Anyone but ourselves

Above the crashing waves.

Oh how I loved you.

And the crashing thunder

Roared pitilessly

Drowning out the sound

Of my breaking heart

As I,

Myself drowning,

Helplessly watched

You drift out of

Sight.

Affintiy

Standard

Yes I have an affinity

For

Rainbows

And

Getting lost.

Kind words and lip gloss.

Singing in the rain

And record players.

Wind in my hair

And

Silence.

Dancing by myself and stranger’s grins.

Sand in my toes

And the smell of mountain air

On my skin.

So many little things that go so far.

Yes they make me smile.

You see

These little things save me

From myself.
