Note the silence

It is pregnant with meaning

Never empty

It says much

Like how absence

Forces the question

Where has it gone

Away, away, away…

My amazing wife got me some pretty awesome upgrades for the gaming PC.

I fell

I fell climbing to a new height

Alongside others

Scaling the walls

Because i was a child

And I learned

Don’t scale those walls

But they kept climbing

And one by one

They plummeted

Lost to the hard earth

As I stood and watched

That’s the difference…

put as cap on the well
screw it on real tight
nothing goes in
during the day
nothing climbs out
during the night
it’s for the best
these monsters
they’re manufactured
and sent after their maker
kill the creation
before it kills you

I think

It is

The long walks

Between the trees

Or down the street

Along the lake ridge

In singer, winter, fall

And spring

I think

It is

The long talks

About anything

About nothing

The synchronicity

That has always been

Between us

I think

It is

The nearness

The being in the same room

That closeness

Across the distance

Of space and time

I think

It is

The laying together

Entwined in embrace

In the cooler evenings

In the hour sunset nights

The breathing in

The breathing out

I think

It is

The heart that you poured

Into the children

Now part of them

Forever

I think

It is

You

You here now

You here then

You here

Timeless

In this space

I think

It is

You.

You know

I have seen

Everything

I have heard

Everything

And

It doesn’t matter

Because

Nothing hurts a man

On top of the world;

There is no shade

Under s sunless sky

I think it is highly likely that I have the best wife in the world.

winter arrives
and with it goes life
the urgency to rise
fades into a lazy death
as the desire to simply

be

wanders off alone
leaving us in this gray
this un-leafed despair
as a stark reminder
that this will be the end
one day
when spring remains
asleep forever

but until such time
we reach out and grasp
whatever light falls
happenstance upon our faces
that we might live
a little longer
