Heron Clan Readings Sunday Zoom Captured Light
Captured light
In a pen.
Ink
On paper
To pronounce
Intent
Atitude
Purpose.
How to divide
A word or world.
Just say what you
Think
Capture it in ink
It will disperse,
It will fracture.
I've spent a life of time
Combating
What I think not fair
Lives are not fair
Lies are not either
But believe the lies
or see the side
the lies reside on.
It kills the captured light
Don't go back
Please dont go back
How can anyone believe
Lives are not equal?
My prejudice shows through
with that statement
As long as you think like I think
Lives are equal
We'll never be equal
Tolerant, hopeful
I can't condemn someone
For thinking as they do
Then lives won't be equal.
Dreamland
Slightly anticipating the tiny clock in her head,
She rolled over and followed the dream back to its world.
Random players, spoke random wisdom
In the nerve ending warmth of the down comforter.
Melt flesh to the fibers of the mattress till it jars you to wake,
Hitting bottom of the float in a grinding stop
of daylight.
i’d Say
I‘d say I miss him,
but he’s never around to miss.
I’d say I’d kiss him,
but he’s never around to kiss.
I’d say I love him,
But he’s never there to be loved.
Not,
Available to kiss,
Nor,
Willing to be missed.
Or,
Open to be loved.
I’d love to miss his kisses,
But they aren’t mine,
To miss.
On the Table
I look at your hand,
Lying , resting, quiet on the table,
Resting, lying quiet on the wood,
And I want to crawl
Between your fingers.
I want to climb
Into that spot that marries up to
Mine, when we hold hands,
Loosely when we stroll,
So they move like reeds on the beach
Responding to a wind or turn of the path.
Or, snug with that wrap around clasp I like,
Where I anchor my small around your
Strong index,
Wrist to wrist to feel your heart beat.
Or, warm and passive in the
Movie light flicker, fragrant from popcorn
And love making.
I look at your hand,
And lay mine there, resting, quiet
On the table,
Resting, lying quiet
On the wood.
