Grief is but love’s echo,
answering back forever.

Like vespertine moths
that circle dying light,
We chase each joy’s
transitory gleam,
Yet happiness, that
paradox extreme,
Blooms when we cease
that restless, fevered flight.

how well i know this a c h e,
how it stays,
how e a s i l y
it finds me,
how faithfully it returns—
a susurrant p u l l beneath breath,
a murmuring, a memory
i step into
a lingering h a l i t u s,
a trace of you

your lips

I miss the crush
as we come undone

Silence holds
in grief’s refrain
flickered memories
play upon this pain
Perhaps, it’s just this time of year
thoughts of you fall ‘round like tears
whispering closer, ever near
they blow like leaves upon the wind…

Lord,
You are kind
to use your Shepherd’s hook
Turn my neck
that I would see your face
Set my legs
that I would not stray
Hold me close
to feel your breath
upon my face

Turn my neck

Set my legs
