Voice (to Mary)

And there

In that

Little voice

Which always

Speaks but

Is hardly

Listened comes

Blessings in

The forms

Of whispers

Spoken by

God himself

Healed

One day

When this

Flurry of

Storms pass

And I

Burrow from

Beneath the

Burden of

Memory perhaps

I shall

Once again

Spy an

Icycle melting

From the

Sun and

Know that

I too

Am healed

Frozen

I wear

A heavy

Coat of

Sadness which

Refuses to

Ward off

The chill

Of loss

Instead its

Threads weave

Around my

Heart keeping

It frozen

Bikes

Like the

Family dog

Whose son

Discovered a

Bike I’m

No longer

Able to

Keep up

So I

Wait and

Wonder for

Your return

Remembering

Grander times

Of fun

And frolick

Hoping that

You remember

Me one

Day

OnTop (to Mary)

Everyone

Wants to

Be on

Top until

They get

There

Then it’s

A different

Game

All together
