Awakening to life
I call your name
no answer, in the distance
church bells ring
six o’clock
evening tide (descends)
vespers have gathered
on the wind
I wonder there
colors swirl in the mind
and thoughts sink slowly
into grey
there are no words
or ways to sound out (feelings)
they hover on the wind
like the bells
scarce are the words
the heart can hold
far are the shores
of our home
still is the place
where memory keeps (colors)
of the days before
the shadows fell
beseech with your prayer
what you will
with your word
understand that there isn’t
one way to be
a past not forgotten (feelings)
have left us
longing forever today
to know where the love was
that lead us this way
into the light we came
far from the reason
what we inherit
our endless days(ze)
answers fulfilling
all life leaves behind
