disparaging,
is the discovered place. when a friend moves on in a walking fashion, and your feet, unbudging, with all of their reserved and well-padded soles,
remain
Been there.... Too long probably.

Your star
No matter how far
Or in nearness, how bright
Though time does dim
And wear away at
The corners of your eyes
Near the edges of life
And galaxy's end
I, fear not lonely your presence
Only your absence of light
For it's within the sky
In this ocean of goodnight, alone
In which I could never shine
At least therein, without you
Beside

His tune returns — Anew and ever strong
(like telephone wires in the wind)                                              
Not infallible —but swaying still                        
With a lyrical cadence there
(he is ready to begin)

spin me like an old record fine
with a crackling sea
in an endless summers day to see

and hear what you will
I, between these vinal keys
humming brightly refined

wherever memories may be
there also you will find
the shores on which our oceans first met

this
continual
collide
not sure where these come from, but I'm glad they visit occasionally

A sense of self better known?
Perhaps.
But in the company of those others found, and in the investment free. These betterments and attempted others, will in time, be.
Counted as blessings abound, be they only in the attempt.
In unearthing, we are found or hidden

the most human question in the ever, is not how ... but why?
Colm Apr 2021
These very words - are weak and sore - at the attempted expression of all that which - Christ is . In him - I am - both free in death - and life - to be - what I am meant to be .
