Maybe no words
Today –
Save for these few passing
Through to grateful
Fingers.
~
There's a poem waiting...every day.
We don't need to find it.
Simply wait.
Be patient.
Be willing.
And then write.
With nothing to
Write about –
Words fall with no
Arrangement…graceful on the
Page.
This single
Point –
And gathering still…my every
Fiber to your view.
Perhaps our
Deepest
Prayers are simply never
Asked –
Yet traced in the faith of
Offered flesh and
Willing touch.
And our response the only
Answer that we need.
There is an
Edge –
Only in our thoughts of
Separation.
Winds blow
Unseen –
Yet every leaf knows the
Taste of their caress.
I doubt not your touch.
No escape.
Life drowns us in its ten
Thousand waves.
Only the infinite remains
Dry.
Rain,
And in between the coming
Drops and hallowed
Ground we are
Asked –
Simply to receive.
maybe I'll regret
this -
these words that tumble unwanted from my
lips in a rush to meet you.
yet maybe still our silence is its
own regret.
and only later do we weep soundless at
our present being.
it seems there's always a maybe at the
end of every moment.
this then is ours…our moment, our question,
our answer.
this is at once our ending and our
hope for a new beginning.
maybe –
this is all we need.
maybe I'll regret
this -
these words that tumble unwanted from my
lips in a rush to meet you.
yet maybe still our silence is its
own regret.
and only later do we weep soundless at
our present being.
it seems there's always a maybe at the
end of every moment.
