Come closer to my heart
And feel the sounds that long to take you
Through all the hollows: a labyrinth of sorrow.
The sorrow of my life
Has long been dimmed from the walls of fear
But the still, deep and cool blue waters of my being
Welcome the clatter of the babbling brook: your Presence.
The sounds that pulse through my being
Are shaped by good and bad
Mostly, conveying a sharper image ~
Yours: for proper consumation.
I will listen to the sounds of your streaming brook:
Echo’s that come from the corridors
Being sought out methodically by your deep hunger
Releasing trinkets of treasured wisdom
Spun of the finest microfibre: a llama’s woolen fur
Meant to keep me warm inside
For those days that I will miss you most ~
I turn to memories
Made by the pounding of surging waters
Colliding within this deep labyrinth
Where sorrow did once reside
Only Now: with patience and time
The wounded and healed: do abide.
