Love Poem

At night the moonbeams cast our hearts;
Through shadows, woodlings see
Two lovers from a starlight hide,
Whose souls fade in the sheen.

The unsurpassed joys drop in time
Like cones from evergreen;
Collecting those which fall to root,
We pluck love's plenty clean.

But love your absence never takes --
The echoes coyly tease;
In circling -- gone like autumn birds --
Your ghost is left with me.

If honeysuckle saved the rose,
Then ivy swathed the tree.
A robin's remnants soothe the soil,
I'll keep this love with me....

Good Friday

I'm going quite mad.
One minute, a disappearance of my life
into some warm and comforting sac -
The next, I stumble upon all life,
and feel all things -
the pain, the frown, the sheer joy
of the upward push into the air
The sensation of the currents
Underneath my feathers
The string at my tongue
And the heat of the sun
Which I forever elude ...
Don't look: this moment is mine
Don't look at the unpacked box
Or the hobbling of the weary
Don't look at the unkempt wildness:
This madness is mine.
The dead follow down the hall
And curl around the ankles
While I watch a tiny wren
Intimidate five squirrels.
Spirit still whispering,
"The only hope is me
And our wonder...."
The wren is nonplussed -
And thus, we will all push through
And rise again

And again.

I never shared the above because it was so rough, but I couldn't bring myself to tighten it up.
