Capital Girl

She is my capital girl…
She’s on the other end of the line…
When I want her on the other side of the room.

She has already spoken volumes…
Of life, love and everything in between…
Between the ‘whatever and the what not.’

As she speaks to me…
I can feel pages of my very own book…
Begin to open up…
For all the world to read.

I keep pages of my book…
Folded in my pocket…
For that eventual meeting…
With my capital girl.

She already knows what is on those pages…
But it is something that is better to have…
Then to have thought about…
Or talked about.

Being as far away as she is…
She somehow has managed to be…
Special.

It’s amazing how the mind wraps around…
The goodness of someone else…
Around and around…
‘til the heart has seen all the boundaries.

She continues to amaze…
As looks inside her…
And I poke my head around…
To take a little peek.

She has a simple grace…
That slides along the path…
Not leaving a footprint in the snow…
No one even knows I have…

That capital girl.

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.
