#cedars
To gather the peace
That swirls through the
Cedars in the yard
To put it in
With where I would
Store my record collection
If I were to have one
If the world still turned slow
To combine that bark stained whisper
With the notes that find my ears
When I can’t find my mind
To give you the music
That animates my thoughts
And the stillness that animates their origin
To acknowledge my weakness
For your smile and its sweetness
To gather and gift my secrets
To hope that it pleases
To sort through the meaningless
To make you laugh till your chest wheezes.
To walk further along if these blessings don’t meet us.
To keep pushing forward
With all I have left
To keep my soul’s doors unlocked
With no fear of theft
To accept you may listen to my music
And wish you were deaf
To prepare to gather up the chunks of silence
After you break it over my chest
To trust that chaos
Is not the rebellion
Of the cedars’ breath
