As Lightening
Wove memories across
The trembling sky
He thought
Of eyes
That could sing
Away, his trembling thoughts.
He listened
To the little drops
That found their souls
On glass, on concrete
On green leaves
That waited.
He listened
To the little drops
That came from one soul
And went away
Unannounced
No goodbyes
Nor teary eyes
Just promises to return
To touch your soul
And fill it with light.
"Light", he thought
And saw her there,
And promised
To hold her
Forever
And promised
To keep his promises.
"Promises", he thought
And wondered
If they mattered
At all.
Souls were united
Not through promises
Nor accidents
But lives
That waited
Like little green leaves
Waiting
For little drops
That could make
The sky
Tremble.
BUT HOW?
You held me in your arms
And said you loved me.
But how?
You bought me gifts
Toys, A Happy Girl.
I was your little girl
But how?
I was your best friend
Your sister
Your play mate
But how?
I Kept your secrets
Held your hand
While we ran.
Happy. Yes.
But how?
I waited
In tears
As you held me
Afraid
As you stood
Beside me.
I loved you
Trusted you
You loved me too
But how?
I am your creation
Your precious child
The heir to heaven
Made in your image
Carved into the palm
Of your hands.
Your little girl
Ashamed
Burning with guilt
Afraid to cry
I am your savior, your Friend,
You said
Do not fear
But how?
As darkness fills the day,
And night is born anew;
As the stars dance with light,
As they dance to the song of love;
As I awake from my dream,
And gaze in wonder,
At the light,
At the dance,
And listen to the song of love;
I gaze in wonder,
At the moon new born.
