The tree fell over,
Ornaments smashed, broken, torn
But the star remains

My body, my body,
Why have I forsaken thee?
Thou who carried me here,
And carries me through,
Thou my strength, my protection,
My instinct, my beauty
How could I doubt thee?
That you are with me and for me,
Why did I let myself be tricked
To think you are ***** unclean, deceitful?
It is I who was untrue
You remain faithful,
Step by step,
Day by day,
Carrying me,
Hair flowing,
Heart beating,
Eyes searching
Each breath a gift,
Each day together
Wholly, holy, one
Thank you

Tears shed for a house come down
For the lives lived
The loves
The families
Secrets whispered into the walls
Love made in bedrooms, on couches
Dinners cooked, drinks spilled
Memories stacked higher than bookshelves
Cobwebs and attics and lost dreams
Sleepless nights
Broken glass
Open the windows and let out the shouts of anger
When stairs go down, hold to what remains

Water on stone steps
Leading the way to autumn
Frozen in mid stride

What is poetry but a moment
Captured in a stanza,
A breath strung rhythmically
Line by line,
A heartbeat tamed into a couplet,
A tear written between the lines.
Poetry is nothing
But life itself.

Allow me to introduce you to the
Land of rainbows, the land
Of palm trees and flowers, all
Happily swaying together on
An ocean breeze.

An avalanche of pain. Sudden. Heavy.
Suffocating in the frozenness.
Icicles fall from your mouth,
Straight from the ice of your heart.
I'm slipping on the ice,
Close to falling through the cracks.
Don't get me wrong,
The summer sun shines through your eyes.
Or at least it used to.
Now I'm just waiting for spring.

Stay with me God: the night is dark,
The night is cold; my little spark
Of courage dies. The night is long.
Be with me God and make me strong.

You're so far away,
And the space between us widens,
But the despair and pain in my heart
Weakens, imperceptibly,
Like a cloud floats and changes on the wind.

You enticed me at first
With mystery and promises of adventure.
I entered your world,
Leaving mine behind, on hold.
I embraced you, you embraced me,
But it was a cautious embrace,
We were strangers after all,
Enjoying good food and fun times,
But reluctant to reveal too much,
Keeping personal secrets hidden deep inside.
With time those truths have crept out into the light,
We’ve shared our hope and despair,
Many smiles and tears.
But I’m tired now,
I’ve played this game too long.
I love your random craziness,
But I need the comforts of home.
Don’t try to make me stay.
We always knew this wouldn’t last forever.
But I want you to know that you’ve changed me,
And I’ll never forget you,
And I’ll be back someday.
We’ll both be different then.
再见
