steal
through the dark
tiptoe
into light
then slip
out of sight
not present
to my own
I long for one
who will be there
with rest
from my interrogator
who stares me
down to ask
So you are
worth…
often I forget it
cannot find it
try the wrong one
our meeting
fails
never happens
how I cherish
when I do not
need one
when I can be
with you
without a
password
stitch by stitch
this love of hand
of heart
comes
to touch you
with the longing
of many
to one
with you
to hold you dear
to light on your shoulders
free you from fears
so
feel the warmth
the Christ coming
Let it be so!
Let it be so!
(Written to accompany a Prayer Shawl)
Audio:
the water is running
as I stand before the mirror
waiting for it to warm
to wash, shave and comb my hair
waiting, too, for something else
the coldness in me to go
in the light of a love
that will not run out as I grow old
the winter stillness stirs
my eyes pool
clearing my way
with tears
Audio:
I am
of
I cannot be
outside of
of
all that is
is
of
like dew
or new
being with
you
without having
to be there
from below
or above
ensouls me
I
you
Audio:
say it

hearts
know
longing
grows
say it
so
