A Place for Longing


Through

These spaces

We call happiness 

We call sadness 

We stash away

The boundless 

The infinite

At play

Pushing sight lines that may

Become crossed

Into corners 

To stay

To look out

With dismay

Take direction

Take path

Take a moment to grasp

Before flood

Before rush 

Before limiting 

A touch

To fill the void

And come to past

Mingling

And cast

A prediction 

Fooled shapes

And wanting that creates

A predetermined dimension

Collaged but not affixed

Shift then steps

Rift after met

Context and meaning

Symbol and rhythm 

Stumble past the threshold 

That delineates new from old

From those we fear

To those who draw near

Pulled to the rooms 

That call us to rest 

Mould fold and caress

Our bodies 

Our hearts

Lest we we forget

Context and outline

To be curious 

To the intertwined 

Blind to the divine

Craving to be found
