Wishes
    Wrapped around my
        Waist
            Waiting for that moment
                When
                    Wisdom takes the lead and
                        Wondering
                             Why it takes so long to
                                  Wish

I sing.
O, I sing.

I sing of heartbreak and loss,
Of romance well ended.
I sing of heartstrings
Soaring, suspended.
I sing of the day
When freedom will last.
I sing of the future;
I sing of the past.
I sing into moments
Where silence would ****.
I sing into spaces
Otherwise still.
I sing of great battles
That in fighting were won.
I sing of the laughter
That pours from the sun.
I sing of the Muses
Who tell me their stories.
I sing of great caverns
Which hold hidden glories.
I sing of my people,
Of women and men.
I sing of their proofs
Shown to me yet again.
I sing of my Saviour,
My Father, my King.
I sing for all graces,
I sing for all things.

O, I sing.
I sing.

Tomorrow I see you
Perhaps for the last time(
But definitely
The last
For a while)
So I am a whirl of things:
Happy to see you
Sad to miss you
Afraid to say
What needs to be said-
Someday-
And wondering why
I continue to listen to
Love songs?

The sun is going down behind the fences
Stretched out for all eternity
Making clouds look like angels' wings
As they skim across the surface of the sky.
And on my wall
Golden shadows flirt with
Sunshine, sandy sunset.

Fingers tapping.
Brain racing.
Eyes roving.
Thought misplacing.
Toes stretching.
Legs itching.
Lungs sighing.
Mouth--

Bits of you are flying off
You're falling apart
You're falling to pieces
Grab a rope
Wrap it around yourself
So you don't lose
Everything
Tie yourself up tight
So you don't crumble
So you don't turn into
The dust from which we came
You'll find yourself an anchor
To weigh you down
To be your rock
And you will build yourself
Back up to your former glory

I bend words to my will
                                           with ease.
I coax them into               shapes-       and       -phrases
                                                        that are pleasing unto
                         the-ear&the-eye;
I twist them until
              they suit    what I want
                                 and then      I set them

               free
