*For Michael*
My heart, broken, but open
Weeps love beyond me
Beyond time
Beyond worry or doubt
Like water, it heals, drowns, and gives life.
Alone, but never lonely
Together, and never parted
In one stream
ever with those I love.
In this dream
Brief as Night
Until the new day dawns
I give my heart, my soul, my being
To life, to love, to wisdom
Until the waves carry me away
To unknown shores
To the hearts of all who held
And who I hold endlessly
This is the path
Ever broken
Always giving
Nourished in the shade of others
Until peace is all
And the new world comes
