Poem
O the sunset...the sunset...the carnelian sunsets how I long to hold them in my hand...so when you are blue...so blue so deep dark blue...you can come to me I will open my hand and you can wonder...wonder...wide open wonder at Xanthe yellows and amber golds streaming from my palm...my palm...my humble palm and you will become immortal O if only I could keep you there...you...only you swathed in light and warmth safe...sound...close to me forever You who I am lost to...over a thousand vessel-ed seas O how l long for the sea...the sea...the sparkling sea in it's emerald greens and topaz hues in it's passions and powers and motion I long to place it in my heart...my heart...my a thousand times broken heart so the pieces can wash away and my essence can float free into the wind... the wind...the wild whipping winds that billow the sheets hung in your yard and whisper wild to the my inner demons washing them away with the rain...the rain...the falling rain that fell and fell and fell again keeping you from my door...O my door...that blessed door that opened to your face one cold crisp morn...so blessed by God O my God...my God...my gorgeous God! if only I could hold your essence in my mind that I would not get lost so often in the wretched forest of thoughts and shadows my shadows ...my small and tall...wide and slanting shadows if only I could rope you and keep you tamed...so the things that hide behind and within you can not escape and create in me...the darkness...the darkness...the black coal darkness that chases me down alleyways of night and slivered moon...O moon...my beautiful mindful midnight moon...my crescent and full moon O if only to swing with you round and round and round the earth and cast a glorious shine upon everyone...upon every single child who needs love O my love ...my love....my eternal love if only I could sprinkle you like confetti...upon the earth and ease the pain I would...I would...upon my life I would O life...the very thing life...the breathe that enters that which wasn't and so then is O if only you did not flee so quickly by but could be cradled away from death Death....O death...O damnedable death! if only you were not so draped in confession that I must pray I pray...O how I pray that the vastness...the vastness...the great and cosmic-ian vastness beyond is more splendid still than Earth...our Earth...our wondrous perfect hungry sad beaten tarnished dirtied Earth... O MY EARTH...how I love you!
