silent shifts
...ego unfed
is now dead so
we’re led by God
we walk unshod

Because he landed so high on the wall

To have and to hold
I gave you her gently

A wish in the wind
...I picked a dandelion today
Wondered if my wish would come true
And thought of you

It rose into the atmosphere and carried on and on
It fell in gentle rain upon the barren lands
It moistened upturned faces and was caught...

One moment when the dust today
Was flung against my upturned face,
I felt the winter’s breath convey
A dream once mine in childhood’s place.

The dream retur...

don't mind the dank shadow-crawling tunnel,
nothing has lived here for years.
