You As You Are  /35

 

     With others it has always been in holding

     and with us now it is once again,

     bound hand and heart to a feeling

     we can not now feel.

 

     We are going forward into present as

     if all that mattered was NOW,

     and never cared so much or so little,

     or could mean so many things.

 

     Pushing on with hand what heart knows

     least, and holding with chains of love

     what can never be broken,

     or in the present spoken.

 

     It is there, the feeling,

     and all before it fails where dungeon

     or tower leave their mark:

 

     You as you are now, and never again.

 

35.

    Another t-pot, sibling of the one I posted earlier. I like the colors of this one (these two). Does a t-pot need to hold water, not really. It's more of a promise of "lets have tea in the future, when we find the time,, a promise between us.

  Metaphor  /11   The voice of the river names itself, then turns another bend   toward closing stillness; ocean's pine box where noise becomes music and sound becomes the dryness of loose leaves seeking a lee.   I felt myself flow then: the tumble in a kind of dream and reached toward the pool quiet grave   passing out of reach like a stick turning on the river  past out-stretched arms.    The river is a metaphor but so is the grave.   11.
