Were I your soft eyes
I’d gaze at the Great Waters
And know I am loved
Those misshapen borders maybe
But there is no unfinished business at the garden gate
Despite what the flowers wish
When they bow their heads at night
They know I gave my best
If we’re facing East
Our eyes are at easeThe air’s unrestrained
The soul knows its nameUnshakeable faith
We will run this raceBreath is at rest
Refuse to get dressed
You’d be proud
You finally sat still
And let my overheated body crash onto
What I think was your chest
While some big-eyed, long-legged, bubble-blowing bug
Dug in
And giggled at the whole thing
Whose eyes were more sleepy – yours or mine?
A movie we couldn’t have missed
It was epic
And here I am overheated again
Or it could have been your shoulder before
Epic, I said
I hope too
I doI hope He
Whispers with stardust
My name
Into your heartAnd it swirls and won’t settle
And it stirs your feet
Until you are foundIn the calm wind
Of your name
That He whispered
Into my heart
The soul-thieving
The final note
The rise of it, without warning
The float away, away
The carried heartstrings
The compelled to stay, to wait
The Violin, faultless
The love, endless Any Way
Mr. Great, Mr. Great
I must touch your teeth
They have stories, such great stories
I’ll tempt them to tell
I have secrets, secret secrets
And a contagious splash
See here This Thing, This Shiny Thing
I’ll force your smile yet
Oh, please heart
Entertain no wondrous words
But for sincerity in the strings
Pay no mind to music
Without proof of pure, strong fingers
Only then imagine the dance
