...my retreat
suffering sadness
wounds i cannot heal alone
guilty, by exclusion in principle
for some sin i cannot imagine
much less, atone
haunted by visions
of worlds only we knew,
somehow made whole
our bonds renewed
responding somehow
to some ghostly need
my mind and body
wracked by this
unseen pain
...wondering...
Will i
ever see the moon
...the same, again?
sharing a warming glow
and the familiar
loving touch of sun
with you
To find joy
making progress
each day by increments
a blessing in disguise
without ever asking why
An enchanting scenario
seen in a greater way
...as bordering on
the divine
Looking to the way
we climb to one another
each and every night
while together
and apart
...To breathe...
And in my secret wish
that you were here with me
in more than memory
and i, secure
in your embrace
because you have
always kept me safe
...you have my heart
What now only
the wind will know
in the whisperings of
the Autumn leaves
in the silent cries of
troubled minds
as you drink your coffee
and i drink my tea
we grieve
as if perceiving
a loss in kind
and so,
as life goes on
with larger questions
looming
in hovering doubts
perhaps
...within our minds...
i lost you in the clouds
which surround me now
blind to what truths, before us
might lay unexplored in time
awaiting our enlightened
perspectives
and so, i curse myself
Without ever being
too unkind
...and pray...
for this
overwhelming
sorrow to relent
to be replaced by
a momentary trust,
A common sense
one to be shared
in an inspired
state of being
We both cherish
wholeheartedly
Beyond
in the temple
of what in secret
...we aspire,
perhaps even hope
in one another
someday
to find
