Embraced

I embrace myself
With the memory
Of your presence

Cloudy, Cloudy Day

Cloudy, cloudy day
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a winter’s day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Horizon’s changing hue
Power in the waves come due
Dashing on the shore that’s you
In aqua on the broken rocky land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your father’s deeds
And why you’d need to set me free
I would not listen, I did not know how
Perhaps I’ll listen now

I stand with you, Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach, Oregon, United States of America

Vows

I stand with you
Side by side
Facing possible storms
Here on the thin edge
Of what was
And what will be

In this now
A future undeniable
A faith unassailable
A love unequivocal

I stand with you
Will you stand with me?

Vulnerability

In time I began to understand
My vulnerability
Was more attractive
Than my strength

As I grew more confident
In being vulnerable
I began to understand
The strength in vulnerability

Baby I Miss Your Touch

Oh, darling
Across these many miles

I have the touch of your words
On my heart
The touch of your voice
In my mind
The touch of your spirit
On my soul

But what I want
Is the touch of your hand
On my flesh

Come back to me, my love
I miss your presence
With all my being

Empty Sails

I sailed across
Obsidian sea
On breathless eve
With pastel sky

While the moon
By just a half
Whispered lightly
On the sly

Love awaits
On farther shore
Beneath the peaks
Upon the sand

It will not linger
For a moment more
Nor even greet you
When you make land

If no love
Has filled your sails
If no love
Has filled your sails
