And it all went black
There in the moment I realized
Nobody makes promises anymore
No one has courage 
Take vows from the ink 
Make them come alive
And the heat lightning rap-rap-rap-rapping
‘gainst my glass window pane
Will not prompt me to doubt 
It all went black

A sister served to remind 
That I tell you 
Here

In the fall, I lost my ring
But not my promise 
And I wait

I was gardening
Hands, feet and brow covered in dirt
In beautiful dirt

Making things pretty
So it’s okay
What else is there to tell

Oh 
Yes
There is such difficulty in this

If there are choices 
I’d say I’ve chosen
To not see, that I’d not know

So many else forget
Protect your eyes
Your skin, your perceptions

Keep clean from consensual dirt
This is that 
Promise

Covered

5 minutes to sunrise
Dash out

Climb to the highest height
Catch in your arms 
All I’ve promised from the East 

Add hope of your own

With all your might 
Fling-far to the West
Our new pact

5 minutes to sunrise
I dash out….

We question the dreamer
The hopeless believer
As though it’s an improper sin
To be lost on the doubt
And colossal sell-out
That flows from not gazing within

Yet who should abide
Those who would brush aside
The stardust of dreams held most dear
When for one’s lifetime long 
The heart still hears that song
To ignore this is what my soul fears

Glass Promise: A Haiku

 All I can ask you
For God’s sake please do grow up
For your sake grow up


It won’t come to pass
Neither the song nor the dance
Played out in your head


Those weren’t your slippers 
That was not your glass carriage
That was not your crown


You asked a promise
I’ll give you this: keep walking
The music will come
