Chasing the Sound

Linden groves, lemon leaves
Diverging paths into the hills
Sun climbs through the weeping boughs
Ambling, I pause bewitched
I chase the sound far
Between the recesses of the trees
The pursuit lasts through the night
Hours turning into days
Sorrowful winds sweep
Through the lonely woods
Painting its halls with falling snow
My forlorn voice
Rings out from the depths
Calling the moon
My uncaring friend

Here Stones Arise
05:45

|
A welling up of bitter loss, wild
Pallbearer gloves on my knee
I linger in the din of sullen assurance and hope
Marking my love’s remains, here stones arise
I only knew but one, and here she lies
Low in my chest, my heart laments
For those who’ll never know
Her vital mind, bright
Now, I could say anything
Praise with tongue or pen
Yet never eclipse the thoughts
Of all that could have been
‘Neath heaven black and blinking stars
I wait once more for the one
I see in sunlight and hear in the rain
And chase in the unchained wind
If I soon follow across that vale
Know that I found peace
Carve no stone, leave my bones
Beside the seizeful sea

Seeds, Sand
04:16
|

|
Arrayed in boundless night, they brim with inner fire
Wheel and glide in gentle gyre
Seeds, they are as thoughts, landing now ‘fore wafting on
All to rest, some soon, some not
Or are they memories adrift on turbid sea
Darting here and there like sparrows in the eaves
Dawn in hazy veil, ghostly pall o’er windswept shores
Stokes color to life once more
Silt, earth’s border frail, eroding grain by grain
To a tune, the tide’s refrain
Each could be a dream, or a hope hand-cast by time
Swallowed by the wolfish brine
Losing ground and wearing thin, around, within
Seeds or shifting sand, the musings of a man
In sum could whelm this bay, but can any endure unswayed?
