contained...

answered
fused to the ground
I feel the earths core burn through
my eyes closed

just a part...

gently destroy me
with a touch I am undone

..........................................

I started this as a haiku, but haven't found the right words to finish it.
I might just leave it as is.

today...

burn
sink into my bones
enter and purify me
laser white sunlight

hollow
slowly the day leaves
purple bruises in the sky
a deep ache inside

found...

singular
one out of thousands
I picked up this dark stone
and it spoke your name

too bright...

holding
some days will find me
asleep on the horizon
waiting for the night

my Mom

carry
your voice a mirror
if I could bear it for you...
I listen, helpless
............................
I try to share
what strength I have
it doesn't seem
enough

so hard to think
when your mind
is 2000 miles away

and then...

slowly
frozen dreams I found
from the night behind the sun
melting on my tongue

just look...

premonition
eyes slowly open
to what was there all along
worlds inside revealed

discover
with each step, forward
to face yourself without fear
come, walk beside me

this or that...

bobcat
we met eye to eye
our worlds touch for a moment
tail twitch and he's gone

.......................................
was absolutely beautiful
.......................................

not a bobcat
we met eye to eye
our worlds touch for a moment
the moment endures

stirred up...

blur
I feel like flying
my feet miles from the ground
a crease in the sky

as I...

dissolve
walking in twilight
my body fades with the light
and I fill the sky

stirring about...

limitless
endless silver blue
the sky stretches before me
boundaries dissolve
................................

Finally, I wake.

face...

now
step into today
the air clear and eyes open
greet reality

a start...

visitor
on soft quiet feet
the day enters my window
and joins me in bed
as I hold my breath
released into the morning
whispered words waiting

...

release
I opened my hand
as you slid through my fingers
and I let you go

holding on...

thread
as I run ahead
you follow like a promise
twisting in the wind

slowly...

easy
soft pale blue breezes
wash across the opal sky
my eyes are endless

hello
now I meet the sun
with long steps across the sky
my skin in cold flames

still here...

race
eyes set past the pale
I held the sky in my hands
and ran past myself

a return...

found again
it was always there
my wide endless horizon
eyes following heart

trying to surface...

haze
eyes turned inward
I have lost the horizon
my body betrays
