The words you release
dance across plains
mountains and lakes
picking up speed and energy
reaching me with enthusiasm
the words fill my toes with excitement
traveling up buildings exuberance
hope and power
releasing in anticipation
If only you could see
The stars when it rained
The purity & clarity
To wash your soul and tears
I feel sand between fingers
And a beach with endless shores
Just to touch the water
Feel the breeze
Wishes for me
Let there be stars when it rains
Sit in the field
Let the rain fall
Spring sweat
Iced to the skin
Wake in the field
All paths lost
Overgrown grass
Unbending to your step
Look up to the sun
A blinding light
Escaping sight
Blistering your core
The slow breath I exhale
Travels past my lips
No words travel along the
Cold vapors
Only shadows of the
Bitter winter leaving
One last stain upon our skin
I wait still
Through this cold dark lone
As I waited in summers past
Always burned in
The hot airs’ glow
Perhaps a long, slow
Spring this year
So flowers will find roots
And trees may provide shade
Comfortable seasons
To bring an end to my waiting
Something about October
The air washes over me
In its soft breeze
Lifting my spirit high
And opening my heart
Something about October
The still water calls to me
In its gentile waves
Allowing trust to open me
I can fall
Something about October
The loose ground absorbs me
Standing strong below
I can only be steadied
Showing my full strength
Something about October
Flames burn hotter
Hurting the flesh less
Reminding me how to dance
Igniting me within
