now and why

now and why 
we search for great things 
not finding 

the package we sought 
but others 
wrapped in gray silence

Hic Jacet

WHERE the mist and the wonder awaits you, 
Where the silence keeps in the cool, 
There's a love that is yours for the having 
At the crest of a glittering jewel 

Where the earth and the sky join together, 
Where the heart and the mind are as one, 
There's a time and a place of completeness 
When the labor is finally 

Done

a sacred alliance

He was alone in the twilight, 
She was alone in a crowd, 
And they both paid with traveler's worry 
As much as was allowed, 

When the time came for resonant sorrow: 
There were souls and mouths to be fed -- 
As there eyes fixed fast to the worry, 
And the sky showed flame 

And dread

lacustrine laudanum

you were behind a screen, always. 
  and I 

  wrestled with demons, wondering -- 

 what is this secret she hides? 

who is 
       this person that she talks to 

  in 
     the 
         hidden places, veiled

within the lakes of 

                    your true desire

and you were my destiny

last night again dreams 
of diving in blue waters 
came clear and vivid 
and you were my destiny 
my comfort and warm delight 

and the light came through 
and the others moved in concert 
as though with music 
that i could not quite make out 
with my ears not yet ready.

between these two aches

all the joy in this 
trembles on a precipice 
between these two aches: 
memories that will not come, 
and those that come unbidden

within and nearby

sell these words for scrap, 
give it all away for love. 
these habits we form 
fall away without meaning, 
empty, without connection. 

on the verge of dawn, 
value is as always was -- 
within and nearby, 
distant and unreachable, 
unfathomable, and lost

the feeling hides

image come back 
now, amid the brokenness, 
but the feeling hides -- 
for what we see with the mind 
is only known to the heart

But Poorly

No one knows the heart. 
We see and judge, but poorly. 
Why do we do this? 
We want patterns to control: 
But the cycle carries us.
