A long …

Meditation in short lines

You were so right
always
and do you know that when I asked
said
I don’t know
would it
your yes
even or especially after that
breath of a moment
held all I need to know

At first I thought
it made it better
but no although
it makes it shared
strange confirmation of
how sane my insanity may be
renewing the search
for getting there from here
three digits toward
our sets of keys

An anomaly
who might this be
how much stronger the cord
the direct orders given
rest my love
your head and heart
spirit
for I have never known a drive
so riveting with its focus
so absolute

I too foresee an early night
my thoughts of some dramatic
French Revolution saga playing
when I touched on dreams last night
more substantial than the small
incidents of not quite thought
that flitted through the night before
all some trick to stay
this side of hope’s attainment
the unusually winding way of destiny

We’ll head north
or I’ll place a sign on my glass
to step outside by your side
but I cannot find the way
to a place this side of
his palpable fear
even as in the sound of you
the distance from him grows
no room for this soul
to live in its unity here

I ramble in obscurity
but you answered yes
so we will awaken under a rainbow
one day
because always and all are my truths
for you
the climb is steep sometimes
you feel the weariness in it
fog rolled in and needs clearing
from the view
