I haven’t posted in over a year, the longest I have gone I think. Here is a new poem:
Unbidden Light
I have no clear way to explain
This uneasy calm.
A storm passed in the night,
Left students stranded at their homes;
The number dwindles
Whom I might call.
Who will let me know
I have a place with them?
My wife tonight has pain
From neck to base of spine.
She cannot move,
So little I can do this time.
She sleeps;
Rest changes us,
Gives us a place in darkness
Soft and warm.
Stories unfold,
Parallel lives,
Crossed against this one,
A life so cruel to some.
But I – my life,
Cursed / blessed,
Or so I thought,
Little more than a child-
With all I’ve seen,
How could the world not know?
The same as I;
Love renders every wound resolved.
Love renders and resolves
Uneasy calm,
In Soft Darkness and unbidden light.
