The quiet
light in
the deepest
forest attracts
the attention
of the
weary traveler
no fanfare
just a
glow ahead
and glimpse
of rest
a bed
a blanket
and crumb
Night
In dark
I listen
to heartbeat
and sleep
with drowsy
and dreaming
this that
you turn
so faraway
in night
I fear
you will
never return
to me
Affect
There are some
a few maybe
those who can
and they will
lean in closer
and quietly whisper
like late summer
winds catch beginning
to turn leaves
it is time
and these whispers
just like whiskers
make me giggle
they tickle me
in my soul
and make write
these little words
few they are
Even
Even when
we don’t
we do
we have
and will
and not
time that
ticks nor
miles that
go will
change that
for love
knows neither
River (to Muenster & Bean)
The love
I feel
for both
of you
runs deep
as deeply
as the
deepest river
and often
I swim
nakedly unashamedly
in you
for you
two are
to me
my water
my essence
my love
my life
force personified
