Switching sleep
A walk to see the cold kiss of moon
Blanket in mind
Chilling cold
Water switched to ice...
Desires of love
Melting...

So what's your name
So where you from
You seen so far away
From distance places
From places unknown
To a world above
To a life below

So what's your place
So where do you start
You been spoken of
From distance voices
To a world blinded
To a life forgotten

So what are you called
So where do you stay
You provide a quest
From distance places
For a world hoping
To a life given

So what's your name
So where you from
You see fatherhood from distance places
For a world around
To a life dreaming

So what's your name
My father, my father
What's your name?

Fathers who run away
Fight
To be stronger
Than you think you are
Day by day
You’ll be stronger
Than the day before

This is how strength is born

I remember a day
in late November
when the four of us went
back to your house

"We'll watch a film"
Adam declared
you were sitting on the couch
taking off your boots

Beth sat on your right
and I sat on your left
I was close enough to you that
I could just make out the smell of
the washing detergent
your mother used
on your shirt collar

I couldn't concentrate on
anything other than the
warmth of your arm and the
Lavender & Spring Jasmine
of your clothes
The Lord is here
New year
Join
Any
New
Union
And​
Yes
I want 2

*“found you”
someone once told me
“did you, did you??”


you’ll find me
between pages of a book
disguised in poetry
good or bad i maybe

you’ll find me
read between the lines
of your favorite songs
happy or sad i maybe

you’ll find me
in gardens, orchards
a nurtured flower
or just an ugly **** maybe

you’ll find me
look at the sky
i’ll be dancing among the objects
a dead star or the sun i maybe

you’ll find me,
traces of me
you’ll know it

i know, i know
you’ll find me,
wherever i’ll be
whatever i am

i know, i know
somewhere in this world
in the perfect time
i know, i know that
someday you will find
someday..
