Held AloftWe'd laid old George to rest the week before,
at ninety-one he now rejoined his wife,

without fully understanding what I might find,
but finding that which I might never fully understand.
And now,
My heart is adrift,
like flotsam ,hopelessly adrift.
And the wind that blows is cold,

SwangeThe moon has groaned home;
And soon the shadow’s drum,
Resonates the rhythmic silhouette,
To the ferocious pains of the spine;
Hear the heavy throbs of the drum,
The panting steps of the trumpet,
And the singing sage of the flute.
See...

But when a mirror comes to view

Of promises I've yet to keep.

Just kindling in God's cleansing fire

A dot, a stain, a blackened blur.

No, the beach is afoot...
