A Rain Waters Mile

the sound of approaching horsemen thunders in the dry spaces of my mind they are so loud i cannot stand it deep waters run swift and the thoughts that run there are bittersweet humble me kneeling before that open gaze before that terrible birthright a mask of soft steel eyes encroaching on my steadfast heart with a terrible pounding of horses that leaves no space for thought leaves no breath to the dreams of my soul lay gasping on a cold winters shore knowing the sea and its treacherous waves i walk the rain waters mile just to hear your voice again i swim the deep places of the heart just to kiss your lips again this is the place where i hold your soft hand in mine sing to you in a whisper songs of finding a hearts treasure songs of getting lost in warmth and beautiful eyes help me find you again in the deep rushing thundering approach of these wild and free horses
