A Hidden Angel

She stands silently,
Beneath the shadows of nothingness.
I know where she is,
But I can't feel her presence.

These shadows are so dark,
Not only does it hide her face,
It hides the lines that define her,
And makes her who she is.

A noise surrounds her,
Like I wasn't suppose hear her breathing.
A quiet white noise,
And now another sense isn't allowed to sense her.

I don't know if she wants to speak,
If she has anything on her mind,
If she wants me to say anything,
Or if her emotions are showing.

The air in this world,
Has no inescapable scent to it.
If she was to smell of flowers,
I wouldn't know.

Every step I take towards her shadow,
It grows larger in the light.
The sun moves in behind her for every step,
As I ask her to move towards me.

And when I start to run,
You fly further and further away.
And you glide with such grace,
It's hard to believe that you are not an angel.

But she must be an angel,
An angel from somewhere,
Come to seduce my thoughts,
And become fixtures in myself.

An angel of such importance,
That I cannot turn away.
For if I did look in a different direction,
The sun would swing around to blind my eyes.

No shade can protect me from this bright light,
No glasses would touch my face without pain.
So my eyes are only for this beautiful angel,
And there is no dispute against this condition.

I only dream of the day,
Of when this angel will stop,
And allow me to take a glimpse of her,
Without the shade of the bright light.

And when that day comes,
I know I will preserve the moment in my memory,
For it may be my only chance for this,
But hopefully I will have her forever.

Washboard Blues

My favourite saying of late Is that I wanna cry. The world has been crumbling around The people The state of affairs The disbelief. I say the words Jokingly But there's a piece of me That would kindly accept A tear... Or two. There have been more days Than less That I could use a reset button. I would start it all again, There are times where I regret Everything. If I wanted to live with no regrets I probably could have done more I probably could have said more I should have meant more. Morbidity Mortality Time... All things weighing me down. There's this sudden end It's coming soon Sooner for some Not soon enough for others But it's coming. If I was to go right now Away Gone Left it all behind... I don't want anyone to think of me After the fact. I don't think many will Some might A passing glance Something to do But I'll be gone Somewhere more To where I'm supposed to be. Africa Asia Europe Or Beyond. I haven't quite decided Yet But I will.

Snowy Interval

Our winter is right around the corner And the thought takes me back To when we found ourselves Last time around In the coldest of days. Even in those harshest of elements In the coldest of all the months I couldn't feel the chill Because between your smile and your words They were the best of days. And just like the unpredictable Alberta weather The storms rolled in I tried to stand my ground Withstand the worst of what it could throw Until I found the peace to know the storm was me. The summer months were devastating The air was dry The sun was unrelenting It was a record year But the chill in the empty hole was all I knew. The leaves have been falling awhile The mind wanders when unchecked Smelling the weather changing Has the heart reeling For another one of those great snowy intervals.

Not Yet

I'm trying to resist It shouldn't really happen I don't even know for sure. It's a good thing Not knowing keeps me from falling Too far from too much.
