Poetry list
interior light
the stillness the
emptiness of our
home without you
seems soulless yet
you feel so close
and why wishful
thinking no the
mystery that warmed
every moment and
day that now cannot
be fully extinguished
it means the harsh
clarity reality of
material creation
isn’t all and its
shivering awe and
immense frigidity
of light years
stellar beams and
black holes are
neither the beginning
nor the end and
never the moment
of encounter with
the sacred heart of
love and meaning
belonging and
purpose there is
no need to wish
upon a star the
eternal flame and
warming smiling
truth burbles on a
bed of hay and the
tiny fingers take
my shaking hand
and wordlessly turns
me inside out upside
down from fear and
despair into a now
that opens to a never
ending where birth
eclipses all death
and his death destroys
all that seems to kill
us there is now no
age and all clocks
are redundant
