Accepting The Hard Road

I cry at the sun

For grafting connection.

She cleansed shadowed section

Between arms and spine.

My head won’t swallow

this pillow of laughter,

fed to me thereafter,

where Her light touched mine.

How tame my soldier’s

Battle-worn ecstasy?

Now without enemy

Or food of his own?

“Answer’s not simple,

But lay in the flowered

Field choices empowered

That your light has shown.”

Crying Trees

Would be a shame if it rained today.

I would have to watch flowers and trees

Cry rivers away from me.

Fortunately, I’m resilient

And expected this anyway.

But I wouldn’t wish it on you.

I didn’t wish it for you.

So I guess for the moment,

It’s just you and me.

Drying off the canopy,

And seeing what’s underneath.

I think we’re a lot stronger

than we were led to believe.

Got lost in the forrest

Hiding wet eyes from trees.

Forgive me if I lost you,

taking for granted you would find me.
