There we go
A new day

More time to ponder and contemplate
Just what I need

I'll think myself into another stupor
How wonderful

the 12step meeting

we speak 1 pain through separate mouths
we cry communal tears
we fill this holy place with love
we touch each other's fears

i will help you ease your pain
you will give me sight
together we can start again
and make it through this night

no one can walk this walk but me
but i can't walk alone
with you to keep me company
i'll find my way back home

The night crept away sullenly
Making way for birdsongy day
So full of raucous delights
And angry joys
There's a blank space by my side
Where you belong

12hours till midnight

If I were ever/ I am now content/ Lucky in love/ and lasting/ As an empty tomb/ How could I wake/ to such a Faith/ Each day/ and not believe in grace/ And the forgiveness/ in a kiss/ Without a thorn/ I would wear a crown of thorns/ If you were my recompense

The wind is pouting at my window
come out it says
And wear a hat

Here is where enough for me now
And time is present in your smile
This rough landscape corrects my hidden vow
Which goes again with me another mile
and when you are is when I want to be
And what you say is all I want to see
your love is love enough for me
