it’s not
easy, that is,
to let a warm breeze
change my life

or stay
and not run
when infested
with fear

times come
when I feel like I
do not have time
for time

but then
it happens
without
notice

the earth opens
revealing
what is

always

a meadow breeze
bends the green grass through
rocks and rests
on the edge of day
up to the evening dew
and settles for
all to see
on a tiny tip of blue
a sway of dragonfly
bids the sun
pass through

there to pause
to spin a tale
of how we come
and how we go
before one can ask

when

how will I know

 

there are curves
in us
than never end
liquid
in the way they receive
light
from the un
imagineable

 

for
two
to
one
is

impossible

with
out
zero

 

to listen
long
into
the night

to waver
before
fear
fearless

to make
sense
of not
knowing

 

never
wake

play
dead

bury
your

self
keep

every
thing

 

 

the two
meet

their eyes
glisten

the world
ends

and
begins

 

to see
me

through
when

I tremble
hold

fall
bend

slow
suffer

let
me

through
you

be
true

to
me

to
you

 

this
my body

breeze of summer
unmistakable
drift of fall
in of winter
out of spring

without
the hurt
of hurry

be sure
as a rising stem

swift
as a bud to rose

certain
as the wind
