Not talking to
You is the
Same as talking
Because I can
Hear your silent
Voice I’ve heard
It when you’ve
Kissed me and
In your sleep
We may never
Speak again but
Please understand that
I hear you
In your silence

Dad (for Steven)
When someone that
You love has
A loved one
That is ill
That sickness belongs
To you too
It shows up
As tearful heartache
And gleefully glorious
Memories about so
Long ago he
Was just as
Caring to me
Even though he
Is your father
Steven I simply
Borrowed him then
Back (to Me)
When you return
To restart the
Most amazing thing
Happens you remember
Those delicate moments
Deep in thought
Surrounded by fall
And water and
Fowl to go
Back isn’t surrender
It is acceptance
To the things
That you lost
Life (to You)
Now I wake
To my new
Life fresh alone
Deliciously alone and
Now waiting and
Watching for the
Postman to bring
My orders for
What’s next life
It seems brings
You surprises not
When you expect
But when you
Dare cheers to
Life because it’s
Only all yours
Kisses (to boo)
And when you
Kiss me here
And here and
Yes here it’s
Like birds in
Early morning not
Yet sun flying
Silently from nest
To tree to
Shrub to roost
Landing softly on
Almost branches tickling
Daylight and me
