Shillings and Sunbeams The day is poised to make blue appeal Words muddled in spring rain seem to absorb emotional floods And a sunny disposition becomes what is gathered in a reed basket I breathe deeper than I can hold hoping the sand that coats my eyes will wash away Hoping the dry salt in my throat will release its grip There’s nothing to talk about, nothing to discuss Clarity is stark against the light of day, and I’ve learned my lessons We are sent to each other, to teach what is unconditional To reach what is fathomless of our inner lives, to discover how much we can hold The exchange rate is higher, the lines are made bolder Now over and only just begun, and I want to wring the tears from my fabric Let them fall until I melt into a puddle and condense into the wind So this I finally know How much I can love you Copyright Kkh 4/9/10 |

This is so beautiful Kathy. Now over and only just begun, and I want to wring the tears from my fabric Let them fall until I melt into a puddle and condense into the wind So this I finally know How much I can love you In trance I am at reading you. As always. |

I think the last line says it all, althought the rest says a lot as well. A poet must leave traces of his passing not proof. |
