I sing now in a key
of awe and lament
in this moment singing
Songs of memory released
and unencumbered by time
parsing through me as I
love in the face of loss,
in twilight never known
piqued from the fount of a
simple look you dreamt my way
dreams of past lives
they come in absolutions
and the reckoning of wonder
I speak now in a language
I cannot articulate
where we exist in an absence of time
of quiet, of peace and an overwhelming
sense of gratitude edged in
the twilight of miracle
Like seeing the reflection of timelessness
seep through the sky’s canvas of blue
— from a lake’s alpine mirror —
revealing I am flayed
among the stars and their kin
