In Your Poetic Mind

Every Christmas we long
for the past of once was

how many can we touch
how many touch us:

~
last night the snow was falling
beautiful crystals of perfect
harmony

                           I thought of you
and how you would close
your eyes

breathe the flutter
of wonder and new birth
framed by      boughs of
serenity and peace

the faded marks
of something still

your stillness:
reminds me how the sea
sleeps and the music remains

                          I have always longed for that quiet
to practice letting go
but I am lost to the spelling
of love
when you would
bring your Tuesday tenderness
in strands of silk
for my palms
to trace

I dream still
of your touch
beyond the bend of earth
                          to the drops I can no longer hold
in spread of wing

arise    from the roots that blend us

indeed holy night

where butterflies rest
