In a tender moment

In a tender moment

Your feelings enter me

All the seeds then flower

On occasion, a tree

Not looking for rescue

Claiming the only road

Neither of us princes

But surely not a toad

Tangent for a moment

Tangent for a moment

An explosion of glee

Old friends moving forward

Lives apart but still we

Remember and planning

Celebrating achieves

Compassion for hardships

Until next time then leaves

In the absence of dark

In the absence of dark

Shadows stripped from below

Unrequited returns

Two lanes of traffic flow

Out of the conch shell and

Bivalves open prayers

Chords in cacophony 

Community of cares

No hope in tomorrow

No hope in tomorrow

Tourniquets and stitches

Cannot stop time bleeding 

Nursery to ditches

Nothing in my pockets

A scarf around my neck

Here are my gloves, keep warm

There’s splendor in the fleck

How strange as we stare and

How strange as we stare and

Stop the blur from blurring 

We no longer belong 

Interactions slurring

Empty office buildings

Deserted on Sunday

And postcard pictures that

Will never find their way

How the crow kept cawing

How the crow kept cawing

Alarming other crows 

The sparrows and robins

Sitting ducks in repose 

The broken glass and trains

Chimneys huffing with ash

And the earth still moving

The caw not balderdash 

Markers of no matter

Markers of no matter

Have I let the time lapse

The frailty of dreaming

Reality en masse

Still the spindrift glistens

Passing rainbows split light

A moment expansion

Enjoy now with forthright
