Calm
by the waters side
where the rocks are covered in green -
my feet are bare

The Earth is a silent playground
away from the city,
I never knew anything like it -
I couldn't believe they had kept it away
moved it with many hands
tore it from the ground

my eyes are sore with beauty

I can hear the footsteps
the waltz of life
moving carefully
with the watchful motion of a steer
at my side

It is now
I can remember
clearly
the thought of you
held up in my mind
like a wall
I could stare off
and hear nothing -

This is why I have come here

So my senses can part
into definable seasons
So every word we ever spoke
can move
to endless Vistas

As you make me remember
the night we named all the colours
the ones you poses from the edge of any bed -
names I once forgot
and now make up the wonder
of my energy -
Visible

Its is now
I believe when they say each of us carry bits of God
and I think its when I'm with you
that I feel his presence
like nature
wanting to be much wholer
