This is the only thing  I can figure out to help me over come the past.

Here
I was baptized
in the waters named for beauty
not long before they helped
orchestrate my birth
Baptized
by my parents' foster mother
who would become my own
Promised
to bring many more to baptism
one place
So fitting to be here baptized
Publicly proclaimed the Lord's
Publicly a promise to bring your sons and daughters
carried on my shoulders
to the waters of Beauty
Baptized
Promised
Beautiful

Red snake of friendly waters
come wrap yourself around my heart
and whisper to me of such fond times
the future is no one's friend

I only know the past
the songs I sing were written yesterday
the sugar on my lips crystallized by the sun of days that have gone

The future is but a promise
of continued storms of change in the present

Restless thoughts
Patterned movements
Centered mind
Cast to wind
Think in colors,
Motions, rhythms
Sparks

Aging wood
Food for wondering
Warm veins wander
In and under
Burst in colors
Torn asunder
Heart

Light and heat
Gathered where
Dark and cold
Held the keys
Breathe in colors
Let our words be
Sparse
