Remembrance

Fear
Unending,
I try to shield my face
From
What I know will come.
I'm
Pleading
"Don't do it,
Don't hit me again."
But I know it's
Coming,
I know it's coming.
Do I deserve this?

Night Lights

I.
And we, by candlelight,
By a moon unseen,
Breathed in an ocean of doubts
And exhaled simple lines.

II.
"Tonight," she said,
"I have chosen."

III.
Tibi sum, domine.

IV.
Waiting in the wings a
Voice
Crying out for an encore,
An encore!

V.
"Once spoken it is true,"
She said.
"I have promises to keep
And miles to go,"
She said,
"Miles to go before I begin to dream."

VI.
By candlelight and a moon
Hinted at only in a swallow of
Light

VII.
I have written,
Written,
Will write
A million truths to you
Before the next
Sunrise

VIII.
Tibi sum, domine,
Te amo

Maranatha

I liken you to a star
                in the night sky
    Diamonds spread on velvet sheets.
Your eyes are the wind
       And my soul the reeds,
  Bending before your call.
             You are my waterfall
I go over the edge of the world
      Finding peace beneath your crystalline waves.
My lungs burn to let you in.

       I am swallowing the sky tonight
