We Walk On The Path To The Sun

We walk on the path
To the Sun.
No darkness
That will not be
Illuminated.
No sorrow
That will not be
Comforted.
No burden
That will not be
Laid down.
Shadows only mark
The approach of Light.
Tired feet, feel
The warming ground.
We walk on the path
To the Sun.

sleep

he held me
when i shook.
bad dream tremors
hushed
into warm chest.
he held me
when i shook
in the night.
must i ever sleep again
alone?

horizon

horizon--
how stubborn your obstruction
of where this road leads.
you give me but a (vanishing) point,
held in your distant smile,
and all my struggled projections
lead only to it.
why will you not reveal what lies beyond?
why not open your mouth to the
sky, (speak sing)
unfolding all the threads
wound up
(in your throat)
on Time's tantalizing
spindle?
but alas--
you remain but a (silent) smile,
holding quietly the gravity
to which all my movements
lead.

Undone

When you are away,
I come undone.
The rivets and ropes,
Which kept my thoughts
In place,
Loosen and fall away.
The cogs and gears,
Which kept my world turning,
Grind to a stop.
My energies are lost in vast
Expanses:
No direction,
No path.

I am at the mercy of scouring winds.
I am blown about,
Dripping and oozing from the seams.
My heart, once nested,
Soothed,
Flutters anxiously throughout my
Body,
Looking for a way out.

Come back, love.
Make me anew.
