It's funny the way light
can dance & play—
how it flickers
through the pane
it's lovely the way light
might not be light at all
but hope—
flitting in
at the edges of despair
it's wonderful how light
can be not light at all
but you—
the way
your soul shines
through the window
of my mind.

Urban living
takes a dark toll,
releasing its arrow
into me
with ferocity
the wounds
the city inflicts
only pardoned
by a return
to the country
where the balm
of yellow daffodils
& the soothing bard
of rivers & streams
can cure each
& every ill.

In the name of
the blessed trees,
the heavenly skies,
the sacred waters
of lakes and rivers,
and of wide
and rolling seas
in the name
of nature
and all living things—
I do not say
in the name
of the Father
I find
no religion there.

I watch the gate
from the window,
a pleasant view,
birds flit by, people pass—
though none
are you.
trains go by
the garden at night,
at the station
passengers alight—
but none
are you.
In life, I meet
so many folk,
some I like,
some I don't
yet still—
none
are you.

Beneath a
patchwork dawn
I walk cobbled streets
& think of you—
where are you now?
Dawn light
speckles the air—
each fleck
a possibility
It's hard ever
keeping in check
past, present & future—
you were in one
but not the others
& as daylight grows
the past recedes again
& I walk on.

I run my fingers
over the soft ridges
of your palm,
the comfort there
a port to empathy—
all resentment
any hatred
drifts away
restoring order
to my soul
as duties loom
tall & imposing,
it helps
to remember
that my purpose
is greater than
a list of chores—
connection—
simply being,
matters more.
