October 2, 2009     Far, Far Away    

sometimes

far, far, away

where this moment becomes yesterday

mind traces fragmented paths

gates unopened, hopes abandoned

spilled over cliffs along torturous way

​

thoughts

born of single images

become boulders

crouching into rapids

damming passionate rivers

passage always forbidden

​

remembrances

infuse fragrances

roses at dawn's moment

dreams touch tongue

bringing forgotten taste

kiss alive with honey spiced tea

​

silenced ears gather songs

no longer sung

melodies haunting then gone

harp guitar cello unstrung

wind chimes ringing summer's death

church bell knelling week undone

​

heartbeat softens

breath almost unfelt

eyes only see far, far away

life lingers

savored

bathed within golden aura

​

soul awaits freedom

when body's work is done
