more than once

She was a long way from home
 I knew the look
I had seen it in the mirror more than once.
Another cup of coffee
A late night walk on the shore
A cigarette with a friend
Then off to the next town.

Between Tree Branches & Sky

3/27/2013

2 Comments

 

​​I found the place between tree branches and sky
I took a moment and climbed inside
I lost myself there
And loved what came after the moment
I lost myself there
I became peace
I became a branch high in the shadows of the tree
I became a wisp of air that blew through those branches.
I was the dirt that the roots dug in and clung to
And I was the roots enjoying the deep cool of the earth surrounding me.
​I found the place between tree branches and sky
I climbed inside and I stayed for the night
I saw my breath against the morning light 
And I thanked the universe for encircling me
Somewhere within the shadow of it’s wing 
And allowing me a moment of peace
A moment of forgetting to be myself or anyone else in between…
The dirt, the sky and the branches of that tree.

The way he meant to go

He’d been on the road a long time. 
Eventually his blue motorbike rusted and failed.

It didn't stop him though, from going the way he meant to go.

He left it in fallen leaves by the side of the road 
And walked instead
The way he meant
On down the trail.

And not before

I fell fast and quick
just slipped
right into love or something like that...
with you.
But the gates were closed
your walls tall stone above my head
with frozen snow dusting your chilly touch on my skin.
The last girl that passed through
had broken you...
You built your iron gates and brick walls high after that
then locked yourself into a painless, loveless hope for safety.
And I'm sorry that I met you after her
and not before.

Gave Back My WIngs

3/11/2013

I returned my halo, I gave back my wings.
 I was sent to be your angel and you would not let me be
A help, a love, a hope... not anything.
You closed your door, so eventually... I walked away.

The assignment was too damn difficult...
To bring happiness to one who would rather be sad.
To love one that does not desire my love.
To help one who is so sure he can do it all on his own.
Why try to open eyes that are more comfortable sealed shut.

You asked for me, chased after me and then chose not to let me be
The one that walks with you.

So I gave you back to the Universe
And I trust with me or not
You'll find your way to peace eventually my love
We all do.

Now
Hear I am
An unwanted angel visiting earth
No halo no wings but I can fly when I need.
And as you have no need of me I'm free

So I am a traveler now, exploring this realm while I'm here

Offering my open hand and heart to others that may have need of a girl
That never fully belonged in this world
And they do. They call me beautiful, accept my help and even say thank you.

Through those others I've discovered 
An unwanted angel can be of some use in this restless realm after all.
And because of that you were worth the fall.
After ever, after all.
And I am at peace if I am only to be
An unwanted angel traveling the earth.
