Before begins the countdownA Void: A Haiku
Omnipresent ache
Your absence upon my eyes
My hope you’ll return
Leeward Again
Against Hope
Cinderblock
‘neath antique doors
All painted pretty
Chipping away
Year after year
Facing Nor’easters
Hoping against hope
An honest wind
A gentle brush
Come calling home
Comfort
Could there be more heav’nly sounds
More clear-cut answer to prayer
As these wondrous crickets’ songs
Bless the lonely air
Tear-stained girl, lovesick boy
“Keep the hope,” ’tis said
This night, they’ll keep you company
Their concert voids the dread
My You
This is my why
Forever the reason why
I wanted
I wanted us
Light
Together
Nights together
As Together People do
The hour didn’t matter
Just when midnite rolled around
I could reach and humbly find
My You
Her Elijah
Who am I if I
Cannot command the clouds
In this
Her hour of need, and summon from them
A hopeful down pouring
A covenant flood
While she, full of sorrow
Knows, at present, only drought?
I See
This morning, it seems, these eyes sting of defeat
“Look harder,” the stormy air asks
“See clearly the calm, the victory now, here for the weary faithful.”
It was passive perhaps, to remain on the mat
Yet, that was The Way, way back then
Voracity and patience, be purposeful now
That the challenge of hope, the determined eyes
Shall be the reward, the brass ring
Just pick up your mat
Just see
Provoked
I’m trusting you to make sense of all this
To put a rhythm to what you see
That’s my gift to you
Find your voice
Your meaning
Keep the hope that all will come alive
That’s your gift to me
Such steps will be as dancing
Call it collaboration
