In the Middle of My Memory of You

An oriel lands softly

on a branch just out of view.

You play a game of

Hide and seek

(OR …. is it Peek-a-boo?)

I spy orange stripes,

black feathers

against sky blue.

Pain catches us in

the middle of things,

in the middle of my

memory of you.

Has it been that long

since we talked,

Gathered pine cones

in the park?

Since we held eachother,

and morning

chased away the dark?

I spy orange stripes,

black feathers

against sky blue.

Pain catches us in

the middle of things,

in the middle of my

memory of you.

I still sense you near

(Oh, those memories of you)

Turn around and you’re not there

(yes, those memories of you)

Had to be so hot and cold?

(It’s those memories of you)

My heart was bought and sold.

(oh those memories of you).

An oriel lands softly

on a branch just out of view.

You play a game of

Hide and seek

OR …. is it Peek-a-boo?

Seem to think it’s win or lose,

but it’s not up to you.

I spy orange stripes,

black feathers

against sky blue.

Pain catches us in

the middle of things,

in the middle of my

memory of you.

Aaaah my..

pain catches us in

the middle of things,

in the middle of my

memory of you.

Ahhh ahhh ahhh.

You Already Knew

Remind me what you said Just before the sky broke. New white sandals, Cuffed shorts Embroidered and hemmed Just above the knee Every inch exploring Braids twisted in hope, Nothing is missing, But everything is gone. Unwinding. I speak… listen. I fly… walk. I move… still. But, you already knew. In the park, children playing Through the haze, sunbeams swaying Trees whisper their ancient lore And the world turns, evermore In each face, a story to find In each heart, a piece of time Unwinding. I speak… listen. I fly… walk. I move… still. But, you already knew. Unwinding. I speak… listen. I fly… walk. I move… still. But, you already knew. Remind me what you said, just before the sky broke.

A Child Set Free

Shine the stars down, Fall the soft rain down. Shine the stars down, Fall the soft rain down. Through the dark, spirit songs. Finding Hope that we belong. Oh, glorious story, unfolding, unfurling, In the beginning, when now as ever, a child set free. Through the dark, spirit songs, Finding Hope that we belong. Oh, glorious story, unfolding, unfurling, In the beginning, when now as ever, a child set free. Shine the stars down, Fall the soft rain down. Oh, glorious story, unfolding, unfurling, In the beginning, when now as ever, a child set free. (C) 2024 BMI

Fragile Lace

Storm churning Fever burning, Head aches, Wide awake. Stop, fall, pound, twitch, flush, blush, shudder. Cold sweat chills, the fire’s climbing (I’m unwinding.) Climbing higher still. (It’s the fire still.) Sun streams in, Lifts dust like smoke. Gentle strokes, fragile lace, head to hip, Sin erased, to leisure days. Sun streams in, Lifts dust like smoke. Gentle strokes, fragile lace, head to hip, Sin erased. Twigs snap, cans fall. Nothing stays still. Softness comes to rest, It’s not a test, Baby, hush now. (Hush. Hush.) There’s peace now. (Only peace.) Stop, fall, pound, twitch, flush, blush, shudder. Cold sweat chills, the fire’s climbing (I’m unwinding.) Climbing higher still. (It’s the fire still.) Winds die down. Rest now. (No sound around) Baby, hush now. (Just hush.) There’s peace now. (Only peace.) (C) 2024 BMI.
