I never wanted anything more

Imagine silence
Barren fields glow red neon
Now torrential rain

Everyday I find myself
with less incentive,
diminished energy;
subdued, I stoke
my flame for
the long
haul.

I’ve nowhere to turn except
to the expression of the timeless.
Though I am tired I forge ahead
convinced that the road leads direct
to the fount of some wisdom yet
undiscovered. Sadly, I am mistaken.

Exhaustion is a rollup shade,
comes down over inner light
to cast shadows that run too
deep, bluer than cold black.
Oddly, since I can see that
I am invigorated, renewed. I
am outside of the physical
debris; I am beyond the miasma.

There on the snow, the shadows of ancient flyers
perched atop rooflines, barring the sun.

Hope is in sight, inverted
there on the optic nerve.

Peculiar droplets
Promise me that you’ll grow strong
The pour of spring rain

As the beat goes it says
so much to do so instead
do nothing – lose myself
in any direction – when
I was a girl once combed
in elusive fashion – was
more than I’d ever do –
take myself in any direction
– laughter rings and never
fades, simply dies away though
fingertips touched so lightly.

I swear I’ll be there for you downstream
where the rocks are smoothed by time.
