Soft Limbs

I.
I love the life I have in the city
I love where I lay my head in the valley
I love the summer air in the mountains
I love the friends I have by the riverside
A farm on a hill,
a fallen limb,
the things that don't matter now,
the way it took me so long.
----------------------------------------------
II.
And I've always been impressed with the way that you hold yourself and me. Now I want, more than ever before, hands pressed into concrete.
I fall so I can feel my heart rise.
I crawl so I can feel what my limbs are for.
-----------------------------------------------

IV.
The womb's life, another.
When I left, this one began.
I hope my new god is as kind.

Holy Ghosts
12:03
|

You felt their footsteps pacing the hall.
Reading a bible with your mother,
your father's patience grows.
-----------------------------------------------
I felt you once atop the mountain
I only know him through you,
just aquaintances, an estranged friend.
Love.
-----------------------------------------------
Though you are distant
I thought I heard your
Voice call my name from
the corners of my
dusty bedroom walls.
-----------------------------------------------
Are you here with me or are you with him in the mountains?
-----------------------------------------------
A white horse
to lean on as you walk
through the hills of Taize.
Did you know it was me?
-----------------------------------------------
You rose up from the dirt
and spread your round roots wide
with your face towards your father
and your limbs dancing.
-----------------------------------------------
She knows all of your
dimensions
You must show her
all the faces you've been seeing
all the pages you have read
all the sins that she'll forgive.

Pillars
13:58
|
|||
Go and take no notice
Of the creaking pillars on which we stand
The ghost that sleeps below us
haunts within the solace of our shade
And so you'll find upon him
A bed of dust in our creaking colonnade
How the dust falls
And weakens the link that carries us on
Softly, Slowly
-------
I am not when I am not my own
-------
Honest days on my own
I am everything
Honesty days on my own
I am everyone
Do you hear me?
On this day I'll die alone
On this day I'll die alone I know
Forests heaped in acres of wood
I could see farther than heaven could
but you can't hide a sound in houses of tin
and I can't help but feel I've lost something
Leaves and root
Seal my throat
But how could I have known
Who I was?
Speak the truth
Bare my soul
And tell me I did it all
For my self
Then forgive me and love me
Forgive me
and love me
