surge with me
in the same direction
at the same pace
toward the same cause
stare up at the sky
with me
for a moment, and see
that we are
listening
to the same
tune
no time for seemingly unreachable
confusion.
stand in front of me.
tower over leftover treasure,
and figure out what was
in the air between all of our words

and so it goes…
there is so much to remember,
that as i sit here to think
nothing comes.
(at least in this moment)
yet, all—at the same time…
why is it that my body feels
all that is
all that was
all that will be again?
the truth is
that there are words to express
what you mean to me
but it would take a lifetime
to say
(all in one long sentence)
there is no question about it

what is it
to forget?
a distant dream
gone by
known by only
a whisp
an ache that pulls
its way back
keeps trying
but cannot stick
or is it
a wish to
know nothing
feel nothing
be nothing
so that the pressure
to be more
absolves
even though
it forgets
it remembers still
i remember

through words
and time
we find our way
cobwebs of fears …
clarity that whispers…
dusty ashes, long ago speaking
of time gone by
sunlight laughing
on beaches with no name
when in the end
what i really want to know is
am i worth it?

something right
brought me to
carry the fire
shut your eyes or look away
i’m only time, constantly
stopping only
in a memory

you changed my life
as i went numb
waking with your lightning storm
inside in my dream
your fire, outside
of me…
i wondered, silently,
will i last through this next moment
in your presence?
drawn to you, still
forever in my memory
