Who know Good ?

and so in longing

I searched

for the missing countenance

of a missing god

and the words

of the songs I forgot.

 

Reach out

Reach out

my arms break 

holding up the sky.

 

I made my place

in the midst of despair 

an empty hole

more empty with me in it.

 

reach out

reach out

my back bends

holding up nothing.

 

Humbling maddening

roiled in shame

missing what was

 

chasing light beams.

 

'Grampa?' the small boy asks

Hazel eyes much like my own

'I love you Grampa'

Bitter joy and the taste of tears

' I love you too'
