The Wind did Write
Though the wind did sigh
At the sound of thunders wrath
Knowing— ahead the sky—
Would soon become its path—
Words from the ground below
Carried by birds towards the air
From the time reaped— to then sow
From the times made unaware—
Not without a song of memory
Recollection of the times before—
The ones divided— when silently
Our souls did ever outpour—
Though— the thunder— but a sign
Unto the roaring wind— to rise again
From its slumber-some time—
From both its ink and pen—
To the ground— the wind did write
A note— signed— sincerely yours—
Though it was thunder with its might—
That delivered it with roars—
By a Signature Made of Song
Though my words to the ground do run
Awakening— all that walks upon—
As they find themselves beneath the sun—
To whom their souls are drawn—
Within this wonder— this warmth— they find
Listening to the birds— sing on
An ode is sang and between them signed
By a signature made of song—
O the sun that enlightens me—
Nearing my time lent here—
My firsts— my lasts— be made truly
Nothing more— or— less sincere
For by letter— that is by chance—
Random not— unknown—
For if I gaze and awkwardly glance—
Upon your golden throne—
For upon my mind— engraved
A signature— by name—
That is the throne— of who are saved
And they who rightfully claimed—
There’s a Song I used to Play
There’s a song I used to play—
Though some words I may not remember
Perhaps— then—I’ll try to say
Them— once, twice and together—
Golden was the time afore
As memory now serves me right—
That is to say— the days that were before
Followed me through the night—
Measured across from fire to sea
My eyes did light the way—
Indeed— it was the sky that carried me
Back towards yesterday—
The wind had chilled my feet below
Though— stillness I didn’t find
Yes— that’s what did foreshadow
The agreement that I had signed
The signature that was stamped
That was to say in ink—
Was one that my feet had mapped—
Out— the heads of those who think—
