Unremarked and solitary
Did you find yourself unraveled
Are the trees whispering your name
When you walk beneath their branches
Are the birds still singing of your passage
There below
Do the chipmunks and the squirrels
Chatter on in playful sparring
Are the feelings in your breast drawing swords
And gone a warring
Does the battle rage within you
Under the blue and open sky
Waving grasses lightly browned
Do they bow as you walk by
Is the wind bringing you messages
To the spirit that you carry
Urging you to hurry
Do not linger
Do not tarry
In the coldest morning’s touch
Frosted lashes
Cold dark tales
Are you running toward a future
Are you fleeing from what was
Will you stop and see the beauty
Close your eyes and just step off
Too many ways to go along
Too many ways to stop
Can you hear the murmur there
Beneath the traffic and the noise
Unwrap the bandage from the wound
Let it seep and let it pour
You’re almost there
You’ve almost made it
Just one more rise to reach
To feel the sun
That shining balm
Central star
And come undone
In this quiet morment
Right before the twilight
And the dawn
Love is chasing down your heart
Love is waiting at the bend
Love is the path on which you run
Love is the stars at night
Love is the flaming dawn
Love is the shimmering
Glimmering
Light within you
Love has been there all along
