Whittled and waning Heat of loss warps the inner walls The foundation suffers The foundation writhes Caving structure feeds on its occupants Time collapses and I am born again with my wounds intact Rain pours from inside The inner sanctum fades to stillness An anchor to the old world is loosed Somewhere, life dies Heavy silence smothers all movement Somewhere else, a life begins Screaming and crying for meaning Pieces break apart, never to find each other Pieces are shuffled and attach to others they never knew Our will is splayed out like light over a horizon of dunes; Most shift slowly in dim darkness, untouched The caps glow and we see what we want to see in them Shape my heart to the rhythm of the world That I might understand why I am buried in waves of grief day, after day, after day The heavy silence; the screams and cries Follow me now into this moment At once, melded into a horrible sense of loss and weakness My will is to overcome But my will buckles in the waves A beleaguered vessel Shambles down the coast Searching for warmth Under an ashen sky that offers no quarter The meaning in each wound Is found in mirrors and stories And in other wounds Scars within scars The end is found in silence A wooden propeller beats the air in defiance Wings glide aloft Grace in motion, in the face of gravity And self-doubt Tired brow and a life wrung with faithful hands Dry of every goodness I hope for The lavender skies once stained With chemo drugs, tears, and the sweat of a working man's labor Now glow soft in every color the Lord made As the pietenpol graces the horizon On its last flight With a one way ticket to heaven in hand Blue skies And tailwinds A bell chimes from many miles away Highways form the constellation of my life Highways and these walked paths from who I have been, to who I hope to be We shed as we grow The cages we build for ourselves slough off like scabs We shed our missteps and walk on With hope and a plan, we walk on With only the clothes on our backs, we walk on With fewer friends than we started with, we walk on Arm in arm with those flowing preciously along our path, we walk on We rage in silent stoic battle against the dying of every light Yearning to wake tomorrow on higher ground For peace, and a moment of stillness The clearing at the end of the path sings to come empty-handed And cling not to the trappings of our bodily lives The souls we are, inside the bodies we borrow Like children rushing on to a stage To perform for adoring parents We are a prism reflecting imperfectly the worlds we abide in Forgetting our lines Stumbling over our costumes Yet bringing a smile to the face of our bearer Like a star twinkling At a young man alone Atop an unknown mountain Muscles burning and burning from the shock of all notions of safety ripped away Like leaves falling to a Winter that knows no end The end comes, and Christmas feels like Springtime Warmth from the fireplace like the first thaw Blooming hope that happiness is just around the bend Summer's going to be what it should be for once And these cycles spin faster with each go-round Spinning through the heavens Like a ballroom dance of clueless souls Just happy to be here
