Crossing the bridge downtown
Night is coming up, sun is sinking down
Grace in the air, hung between water and sky
Curving and straight in flight
I match your pace with mine
The world slows around us
Wings in rings of reflected sight
In the looking glass of tide
At Marina's Edge
Winds in sheets due south
Casting spray, the keep sets course
Sails billow out
Bow toward the sun
Painted and glowing so warm
A time beyond, time out of time
Direction and force align
We could wrap around us
Peace of hours losing their light
While drifting by
At Marina's Edge

One down, half across the line
Past the pages of thought, now give it some time
Two down, tongue top of the tip
The answer a Hail Mary recall just won't get
Number three, Holy Trinity
Down and across leave my mind empty
Apply the mind, examine spaces in the dark
Stark blocks and lines, to make and fill the
Open spaces
Apply thought, boundless wondering of the mind
But only, but only to the limit of its own design
What's it all four? Quintessential, existential
What will be of Sunday morning's hot coffee
Five alive, getting restless and vexed
Tallying the crumbs and clues
To hear into what rings as true
What rings as true
Look out on the green needled steeples
Congregations of birds above
Flocks of distanced people
Can I ask, are you able to be kind
Are you the kind
Do you solve riddling puzzles
With cross words

Streetlight

From another place
In your fine camel coat
Fine tanned leather shoes
Under the streetlight
Footsteps falling, calling out
While rain painted on your laces
Wind whipping, cold and bracing
Under the streetlight
And just like moments
Most moments
We passed unnoticed
Walked away
But I noticed the finery matching
The careful choosing
Instead of cross-patching
Camel coat matching champagne red hair
Far-off hurried
I am a stranger stare
Oh, you are a stranger in town
Came in on the wind
Lift off
And you're gone from this ground
Alone you look as in a crowd
And we pass without a sound
Two people in the night
Under the streetlight
What's behind the hurried times
And the miles of work to do
When went unnoticed
One by one two grains of sand slipping through
Language made of simple sound
Or in stillness, quite profound
Do we come from different worlds
Only if we cannot look around
Feeling like a stranger in town
Do we come from different worlds
Only if we cannot look around
Are you feeling like a stranger in town
Take a good look around, lift off
And you're gone from this ground

Comin' around the bend
Can you see which way you're going
Are you just beginning
Have you reached the end
Can you tell which way
The winds are blowing
Can you come inside
Can you stay awhile
You can stay awhile
And even close your eyes
Do you hear what I'm saying
You can close your eyes
And stay awake
Inside
Here I am
Standing right beside you
Do you see me, can you feel me
Here I am, and I am Naked
Can you tell which way
The winds are blowing
When you reach the end
We're just beginning

Outside the air is cold
And salt is falling on your skin
I see your hand is open
And my fingers are slipping in
My heart is wrapped in wool
Against the weather
I'll get the cup, you pour the tea
And we will sip together
No holding back this moment
Still and whole
When you are here with me you're near me
And it feels like home
Where walls were stark and white
A gloam comes slipping in
Without being asked
And basks us all in sun's gold light
Hot steam and breath are fogging
Westward facing panes of glass
Outside the spring comes calling
But winter's grip still holds fast
Salt is falling on your skin
I see your hand is open
And my fingers are slipping in
My heart is wrapped in wool
Against the weather
I'll get the cup, you pour the tea
And we will sip together
No holding back this moment
Still and whole
When you are here with me you're near me
And it feels like home
Where walls were stark and white
A gloam comes slipping in
Without being asked
And basks us all in sun's gold light

Met you on the square
Stranger behind blue sky eyes
Talked and walked away
The world turned to you
Mountain in horizoned sight
Lovely lonely day
Life a poetry in living
Even without rhyme
Didn't need a reason
Was there room for yours...and mine
12 long aching years
Alone in a bed so cold
Wishing it weren't so
Still I see you when
Shadowed strangers pass me by
Never to be known
Loss a poetry in loving
Never yours and mine
Left here holding sadness
Bound to you by love, and loss, and time

I
took my penny to the well
and I dropped it in the water
and I let it fall
In the dark
In the deep
Kept inside a wall of stone
In the dark
In the deep
Still, silent water
Is it cold?
Make a wish
Don't tell, don't give your dreams away
Don't give your dreams away
Listen well and learn to pray
In the dark
In the deep
Where the bottom is unknown
Built of stone
Made to hold
Liquid molded in reflection
Of our own
Take these sticks, and take these stones
Close your eyes, count to five
Make a place to call your own
Open your eyes and come alive
Drop your penny in
Let go and make your wish again
Take these sticks, and take these stones
Make a place to call your own
Six, seven, eight
Lay them straight
Drop your penny in
Let go and make your wish again
Take these stones
Build your dreams of sweat and bone
Faced with knowing love and loss
Fear exacts a painful cost
Drop your penny in
Let go and make your wish again
I
Took my penny to the well
And I dropped it in the water
And I let it fall
