Warm (to Bean)

It is not

That I miss

You it’s just

That the tiny

Filaments of your

Life have been

Spun into the

Fabric of mine

In time I

Will simply tuck

You away safely

In the corner

Of my closet

But until then

I will wear

You for you

Keep me warm

Trust

Last when I

Spoke to God

He said two

Things to me

Which I didn’t

Understand yet trusted

Let him go

Let him be

Sometimes you never

Realize their meanings

Until after you’ve

Passed through the

Storms eye and

Are delivered new

God didn’t suggest

Saying good bye

He meant as

You have him

Nor did He

Mean silence but

As he is

Trust in Him

And just the

Things He says

He knows peace

Best and precisely

What it takes

To get there

Alive (to Bean & Me)

Like a tree

That has shed

Its leaves I

Stand naked barren

Ready for winters

Onslaught of snow

And biting cold

Yet I know

That what comes

After is new

Spring full of

Budding blooming life

And those long

Warm summer days

Of shimmying shade

I’m not worried

I’m happy for

I am alive

Always beautifully alive

Break

This night my

Heart will surely

Break it’s been

Pounded and tenderized

Before held together

By hope and

Chicken wire but

Tonight oh tonight

It’s going to

Be shattered into

A million tiny

Bits do me

A favor will

You scoop some

Up and take

Them because some

Belong to you

Summit

Tonight we meet

To finally talk

Summit of sorts

To outline futures

Going forward I

Don’t wish positions

Or the bartering

Of belongings I

Do hope that

We settle differences

And remain friends

And strong allies

For the future

We’ve come this

Far waged wars

Connected our divides

Than to be

Anything less than

Comrades in arms

Would simply be

Much too little
