And so this morning
Raphael asked if I
believed in the resurrection
At first I thought
no but after studying
him I admitted yes
What changed your mind
he asked Well you
did I cautiously replied
Before you there were
others so many others
that left me in
a state of heartbroken despair
and I just figure
that if the possibility
of my love could
be resurrected then by
all means anything’s possible

MeMirror
I have enjoyed a
great life filled with
adventure and many opportunities
I have felt loved
and I have given
love and I have
laughed
not just at things
or at others or
at other’s things but
at myself as well
And now as I
sit in this my
last phase of life
I spend most time
in front of the
mirror and reflecting most
upon my wrinkles for
it is within them
where I can see
all of the others
who’ve walked with me
Rather
I think that now
after the dust settled
what I truly want
is friends not lovers
I’ve had lovers so
many in fact that
I could field an
entire baseball team and
and now rather than
playing the game I’d
rather sit in the
stands eating popcorn and
hotdogs and cheering those
on who still want
to play to win
Me I’d rather watch
I no longer can
weather the losing and
winning lost its charm
ItUs
And it’s funny when
I think about us
I don’t think about
it it just happened
and continues to happen
and when it happens
enough then that it
becomes us an expression
of us the meaning
of us so it
is what we desired
and us is what
we intimately eventually came
Wellspring
And there are some
which carry me away
from even you farther
away than even you
can find me though
by now you’ve learned
that I must go
but I’ll be back
I always come back
and I never go
any farther away from
you that I lose
my way for although
forward is an adventure
back is my wellspring
upon which I drink
