I swear by all my troubles near
And far beyond my dreams, pretend
I’m headed home
To where the wild ones come, crashing
To where hopes come limping in

What sort of man sorts it out
Why would he care
beyond those creeping shadows
Beyond all doubt

And then,
I dreamed you came into sight

And I began to swear by all my troubles near
And far beyond those dreams that bend
truth into prism light
to which I cannot stare

~

I fell into a fresh pool of  water
Cold and clear
Saw a message circle round
familiar
A closer look and soon, I believe

I’ll be
undoing
everything

thank you, sweet Angel!  

there are some dark places a candle would blind . . . if you can feel an ounce of this poem . . .

Hugs, Robert

I loved your play with words in this.  Fresh, appealing, dramatic.   I will look forward to reading more from you!

Cannot ask for much more clarity
than what is given us, naturally.

Robert, you reached deep for this one.

And you did it very well.

A very moving piece Robert.  

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.
