NightSounds

I hear the rain

Wishing it were snow

Rain sounds like heartbeats

Reminding me I’m forgotten

Snow sounds like singing

Reminding me I’m alive

Turning one into another

And always back again

Then

You only ever miss

Something until you can’t

We never really realize

How lucky we are

When we are lucky

We always seem to

Be looking somewhere else

When where we are

And what we’re doing

And who we’re with

Will one day be

Long gone and then

When it’s too late

We will miss now

Then

ThisYours

I fear for this

World not my world

My world’s behind me

I fear for this

Your world I can’t

Understand nor did I

Ever imagine that this

Could’ve ever been that

When I was young

But now as I

Look down upon you

Tucked up so tightly

In your precious bassinet

I worry for you

This world of yours

Tapestry

I have spun my

Wishes together combining threads

Of person and place

Into my futures tapestry

To either hang huddle

Or hold against me

But really to share

With another woven therein

ThisIsHim

I have finally decided

That rather than wait

That I would ask

The Universe for someone

Creator of the Universe

Appear before me this

A Spanish pianist composer

In his early forties

Intense shy and passionate

Whose fingers speak music

Whereas mine speak words

And together create songs

Telling of mysteries and

Of adventures taken or

Simply quietly wished upon

At the point of

The candles last flicker

And our first sunrise
