When my son was little, I used to hold him and rock him while singing "Your Song" As he grew older, we found he had a great voice, so his music teacher arranged Your Song in his key. He did great, his picture was in five area newspapers. Now, he has been a police officer for 12 years...he signed on with DynCorp, a company who subcontracts work from the Government. He is presently in training in VA, and is leaving for Afghanistan on Sat. to teach police tactics. For those of you who know about the problem, we have been on very good terms now for a few months...praise God! Please pray for him.... I'll shut up now "Your Song for David" fingerprints of left over nightfall? have you heard the birdsong "cradle the child" a lifetime of joy, fears & shadows one night dreams become mysteries crashing through tomorrows fair wells and journeys home I cling to purple mist and unto the entrance of hours waiting waiting waiting sky flashes with some voice that scratches and aches yet does not regret I was born by you sacred and profane directing you here from the fragrance of embers and gardenias of secrets which life only knows do you still discern how to draw rhymes of colors? breaths of springtime songs? "your room is very bright" with sun warmth and whispers believe... Believe.... your sea a fragile beauty of living things that tell footsteps in the night recognize familiar voice your still warm child's voice which you've pasted to my heart but for your words of silence I smell that monster judge souls torn unintended but still... still horizons submit flickering silvers and golden hues looking after you with your very own Claire de lune live live through experience is all one can do ohhhh... if I were a Sculptor but then again NO!

I love how you write and I am so happy to see you here, LeeJ. You bring so much to these blue pages with your eloquent poetry in motion. This poem reminded me of a book I used to read to my children.... that repeated the phrase; "as long as you're/I'm living my baby you'll be" God Bless you and yours, dear heart~ |
