The Most Powerful Love

I try to imagine
Something more powerful
Than the beauty of you
More magnetic
Than the light of your being
Something which could draw me in
With such inescapable gravity
As the love I’ve discovered
At the center of your heart

Nothing comes to mind

The Glow of Life

The glow of lights
I see at night
Try to perceive
In light of day
As aural gleam
A sign of this
Candescent life

The Next Refrain

There’s a little black cloud
In the sky tonight
Between the setting sun
And the bright moonlight
There’s an indigo rush
As blood and ochre fight
And the sea is becalmed
Beneath the mountains might

I have stood here before
In this sundown pain
And the stars still to come
After the planets reign
With the world writ so large
I feel my being wane
Falling deep into grace
I sing the next refrain

Night Passage

Sweeping beam
Lights the way
Then guided home
By bell and whistle
Safe harbour waits
Through narrow channel
Between the rocks
Let us not stray

Eastern Glow

While others gaze
Upon low lying sun
I turn my eye
Unto opposing sky
And glory in
The subtler shades
Which vibrance
Though far less pronounced
Such bare honest glow
With its gracious tones
In soft pastel
Restrained
Does not shout out
But whispers clear
“I am a sight
Held no less dear”
