who pretends to hold the key
who begs God
who laughs and knocks at the door each day
right here, right now.
in the middle of this bar fight
intoxicated on moonshine
the real kind
drunk in the timeless grass on the dark side of the road
I found you there,
beloved, writing my hands.
I saw you in my innocent, human prince
I love him always
please
allow in this love
as my gift to you,
heal your broken mind
Let sunlight blossom in your fertile, pregnant heart
As you offer your body to the flowing light
of my strong love
Healing all you touch
Simply like sunlight
Humbly like breathing
My beloved child
You gave up your art to find me
You gave up your games to live with me
you made me your central sun and you made sacrifices
on my behalf
solemn and between fences
Here in the meadow you found me
playing with your hair and whispering sweet nothings
just like you want me to forever
safe and sound, cradled, held
my darling child how i adore you
how I hold you dear
so close, so tight
how i am always clothing you in noble robes
if only you would pay more attention to me and forgive all the small infractions and misgivings
meaningless train now sunken ships
I inspire you to grow in that rubble
don't forget me child
i am here, in your pen
