The fountain of hope
Which lives within
Returns to life
Renewed
Refreshed
Layers of pain
Flayed
Stripped
Falling to dust
========
Homecoming tears
rivers born in loss
flow
down my cheeks
emptying me
to fill another place
I didn't know
still lived within
======
dancing dawn upon my lids
drawing me from my nest
in shades of gold
to burnish my world
======
Home
once a far shore
a forgotten land
now burns, a fiery beacon
calling me to set my foot
on memory's
sweet-smelling earth
weary traveller
foot sore & spent
wonders you've seen
peoples you've met
with spirit lifted
and hopes restored
welcome home
=======
Storm tossed leaf
Blown 2 and fro
Fragile & light
You go where you go
Yet my will is mine
My choices to make
None shall say
The road I take
======
writhing as if a living flame
in cleansing fire we burn
a starlit torch
blazing through the dark
to shine our pathway home
======
feel the rhythm
feel the beat
there's the floor
get on your feet
see that disco ball a spinnin'
c'mon now people
get groovin'
======
Stars fall
I seize them
breathe them in
I am pierced by starfire
burning white hot
setting Heaven to flame
with fiery words
======
My old house
creaks & groans
like my old bones
but tonite I hear
not a creak
but a footfall
Death's at my door
He took his time
=====
Within shadows I dwell
Enshrouded in shade
Bare fragments of light
They dare to invade
Mere echoes of life
To whisper my name
Unheeded soul
=====
a guardian angel
golden and bright
you fought at my side
a shining white knight
my heart I entrust
shelter her well
=====
upon the breeze
he called 2 me
sibilant words of love
my mind took heed
heart took flight
within the vortex we danced
=====
