Roots Remember Rain

From the falling of rain

There is a memory

Of life that has been given

From the life

That is beneath what the eye

Can see

The roots remember the rain

And all that came

To sustain the life

That has all of memories

Alive

Lanterns for the Lost

Hold the light

Where the lost

Can see it’s dim veiled

Hopes

Of destiny

To see what path lie ahead

May make life palatable instead

Of dreading the worst

So the lantern for the lost

Beams in a darkening space

In a world that has fallen

Out of grace

Echoes Beneath the Skin

Between the heart and soul

Bones and skin

The is a resonance

That rings

In

the depth of night

And in to grasp of morning light

Echoes beneath the skin

The memories of past loves

Trials and tribulations

From the formation of our beings

There is an echo that rings

Burden of the Unknown Rain

The rain falls on the fields

Over the time

And back to the river

Runs the waters

Through the life

Stages

So the burden of the unknown rain

That falls

Deep in the forest

In the middle of the night

Is the rain that heals

The land

Deep in it’s divided light

The Silence Between Stars

Between a length of darkness

There is a star

Brought into life

From the depth of silence

And heart

To light the night

In a start

It is the silence between stars

That is measured in light

That tells us what is wrong

And what is right

Petals Falling in a Nowhere Town

So comes the fall

Brining in the final act

Of the summers discourse

Holding up it’s course

To take away

The petals that fall in a nowhere town

And on the grass

They lay

The Weight of Small Things

Focused on the big things in life

Makes us susceptible to the

Small

Things

That can add to the uneasy

Word

So undue stress

Can come from the smallest of moments

To the tender of life

Under the arms of the world

The weight of the small things

Bears down

An Orchard in the Dark

Upon the evening hour

There is a certain darkness

That sheds over the ripe orchard life

In the darkness the new

Ones

Move in

To take over the evening rush

An orchard in the dark

Is more to the moon than

The sun

The full moonlight

Upon the hours that make the

Evening new

Letters the Rain Forgot to Send

When the clouds rolled in

And the fog laid claim to the day

The letters that the rain forget to send

And forgot to say

That there is a hope

Only distant as the sun in the rain

That we can change a life

Make a better choice

And be the change we

Wish to see

The Echo Beneath My Bones

Underneath the skin

And the blood

There is an echo in my bones

Of memories

And letting go

To the distant hopes

Of what could have been

And what was

Reality

So I take this echo

To hear from time to time

Who I am

And where I came from
