In night this ransomed heart
self held in quiet captivity
past dreams as seasons pass
make way light path’s serenity
In light this ransomed heart
doth bleed
into chalices overflowing
and rains upon the hollow reed
a melody softly blowing
It mourns of rogue and shattered dreams
it sings in brilliant azure hue:
“What price doth satisfy
self capture’s ransom due?“
She is in love
with God and the falling rain
A lover caught in a lover’s refrain
A passenger on passing trains
she roams and roams the barren plains
They are in love
with God and beautiful things
Two wanderers, each searching for their other wing
In hopeful prayer they greet each spring
anxiously awaiting what kismet brings
Though paths may cross and they find one another
will they recognize the gaze of their fated lover
Or searching,
searching will they ever remain
forever seeking poetic rain
I will follow the sun until I forget him
until there is not a single trace
until these eyes and fingers
forget the outline of his face
Rising or setting or behind clouds
I will follow the sun’s lead
tolerating the two twilights
as long as it takes to cauterize the bleed
Standing in its scorching heat
it will burn away the pain
sadness falling from the clouds
knowing a rainbow follows the rain
Back into the ocean’s womb I swim
a returning home to my Being
a gestation of evolution
a rebirthing and a freeing
And I will follow the sun until I forget him
When the one that you love
is in love with another,
its like chasing the rain
while running for cover.
Like bridging the distance
between east and west,
knowing its still farther
from your head to your chest.
You run and you run
yet remain where you started;
but the sages have warned,
love is not for the faint hearted.
Love asks no permission
whether coming or going,
be it to stay or pass through,
like an ephemeral wind blowing.
Like a welcoming farewell,
the mixed message from your lover;
when the one that you love
is in love with another.
