Fragile

Go slow my heart
Rest a little
Stay here
Silent by the brook
Where the wind is cool
And the water flows
As if nothing happened
No one 
gave it their tears
No one 
silent yelled into the trees
Nothing bad happened here
Not that anyone remembers.
Except your tender walls.
Go slow my heart.
You are love
Even if no one remembers. 

The River

The rush sometimes Isn’t in the water

But in the glacier

Sitting up high

Atop a mountain

Frozen in time

Molten by noon

To fall on stones 

It doesn’t know

Making its way

To the sea

Growing trees

On banks

Washing the grime

Off rocks

Only to become

Nothing when it 

Meets its end.

Falling in Love

Falling never felt this good
Love is a beautiful place for it
And joy an obvious outcome
I could make a home here
The hands of time however
Remind me to pause desire
Longing isn’t an investment
It decays time in the most
Loving manner
Bringing profits
Only the soul knows.
I could make a home here
Yearning that as I pause
Cherry blossoms will bloom
Fall on my cheeks 
Like a gentle kiss
And rain on me 
All that I have missed.
