Dustless Dirt Road

Somewhere a polished garnet -an anchor- has dropped

And it is dark and I cannot find it to lift it to continue on

If Any have known of these things then let Them too know this

It is as I have said: I love you for all of these lifetimes I’m given

Harken back to today and I wish

I wish you would stand, for I am leaving the table

I wish you would find me at my secret spot and whisper to me the secret joke on Earth that it is

I wish you would tell me I’m pretty to my eyes

I wish you would bring me all the flowers and I don’t care if they’re cut or holding tight to their roots and will muddy my hands

I wish after all this time you would not need a condition in order

In order to say my name

For all of This Life I’ve wished but I do no longer wish 

For what you do not know or see or want or would want to know or see

Tomorrow, with daylight, my Rock and Tether I will find and hoist and I will trust

I will trust you to tell Them I love Them and the way They love you

or Bust

Something different with the heart
Cut and without borders

Snowflake-like to allow a freedom to breathe 
Okayness to flow as it wills

Crackers, bananas 
See sweet sugar chocolate replaced

The good-will of green with sunset orange
Red -May we see red not again

Finally At Last

I’d give much, save the sun
To watch what he’d have said -what he did say-
About all this
And where he looked when he said it.

What thoughts too, do the others share from the bottom of their dear hearts
-would you ever share them with me?

You. What about you?
Sit down, slap the ground and bid me come near.
What do you need me to know?

Silk Trek

Who longs, as the finest silk ought

To leave go all the soft-touch

To join the rugged from the far-reaches of the closet

To assume the trudge daily through crystal-cold streams 

A bandera, of sorts

Rambling top speed, East to West, then Eastward again, down an unattended-to thoroughfare

The most subtle of beacons guiding the eager to new heights

Then, after God-willed extra innings

To be the edges of the seat, rounding third wide, photo finish, face first slide into home
