Listening to every heart

A Need

It begs of me
come
take the wheat
shafted, thrashed, milled
then
grind it well, again, as
the raft of hope begins
where I will find myself
once more, and it,
it begs of me
come

the process is almost lost,
it is,
to know of the need
to knead
to beg for a day
and swiftly, allay
the pressures of weight
and greed

but come the morn,
the cool clean morn, the
time where the begin,
begins
I smell you, now….

I need you….

slow the process of
the mind
in quickening of yeast, and kind
and beget of me the touch
you’ve yearned
while I smile in poet’s churn

for you are this, leif
the life of which we beg
to hold
warm, crusty, begging taste
I shall sop with you juices of strife
you, you….

I beg you, stay…

not only in my memory
not only beneath my hands
of need

I beg of you, stay…

stay and rise with me
come to your fruition, free,
stay in braid or of higher sky
raise my hopes
let spirits sigh…

I pound and knead the currents air
knowing spirits reside, somewhere
discerning then for now,
and when
I will hold you close, again,
again….

mein lief,

just know, I know, the need
of knead…..

leif = “dearly beloved”

truly love the flavor of this one, the language is delightfully romantic, the plea is strong

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Your skill with words shows brilliantly through this poem, Karilea.
