May our minds flourish with creation, and may our hands never deny its expression.
I fell to sleep singing a love song;
a rhythm to my breathing,
with the cadence
of a chest rising and falling
to the beat of a ballad
that plays for you.
When I awoke
in the middle of the night
in the hollow of a barren silence,
I couldn’t find the music.
After I searched under the covers
and in the corners of the room,
I heard you humming the tune
that lulled me to sleep.
I should have known that only you
could take the music
from my throat.
What is love
if not learning
the language of a heart
and speaking to it
the most gentle of words?

The echoes of you
scream louder
and
lie heavier
than your presence
ever could

All the ghosts
of my dead dreams
have told me of you —
that you would
be the one
to make a ghost
of me.

Long has it been
since the song of birds
or the chorus of winds
or the cadence of my heart
could drown out
the echoes of you.

With fire and steel
torrents and zeal –
with wind and with ice
with day and with nights –
the moon and her stars
with sighs and with scars –
with earthen quakes
and dusty snowflakes –
with budding petals
and glistening metals –
silent humming
yet strident drumming:
You Are.

Lo, but if we exchanged in commerce
with kindness as currency
and commensurate compassion,
then – and only then –
would wealth be something of honor.

When I sigh, heavily, in the morning,
my lungs breathe your name.
As my legs stand,
my joints ache your pain.
While I work and I toil,
my back lifts your blame.
When I sigh, heavily, at dusk,
my lungs breathe your name.

This time is deceit
for I’ve felt eternity
in my longing for you
and an immortality in your love.
So, external time withers,
for all time is within you.
