Blue-Grey Tee

You didn’t mind and I didn’t matter
I’d be your sounding board in exchange
For stolen glances at God’s handiwork
How you cared to steward His chiselings 
I studied in the moment of the dream
All

The whole time, damned to awaken
But I, glad for the dream 
Said I love you
Sang a song 
And at once
Arose 

Steward of Skies: A Haiku

Dear John, I love you
for proposing our hearts hear
the quiet, the roar. 

The loon’s skidding feet
across glassy still tables
for to glacier meet.

The death then new life
when lightning then lumber clashed
you championed this.

Be still would this land
and her creatures take her hand
in fellowship one.
