Known and Unknown

A Shadow in My Heart

Today was another day
weaved into the fabric
of days forming
this picture…a tapestry

At the loom
sitting so close
the colors blur, and run
together and stagger
like canyon razors
twisting up a mountain side
the pattern imperceptible
to eyes caught
counting
measuring
searching…

The Hand guiding
each Thread into place
Paces out the Rhythms.

--somewhere today
I thought I heard you speak
Only to realize,
So sure I am of you
It was only an echoes inception--
One day soon,
Perhaps tomorrow
your timber will resonate those words…

--somewhere today
I listened to a song
Only to realize,
So comfortable I am with you,
Singing to make you smile--
One day soon,
Perhaps tomorrow
my encore will be as a premier performance…

--somewhere today
I looked for you in the crowd
Only to realize,
So obscure we are to each other,
This innate reflex is premature…this interstice, our current state--
One day soon,
Perhaps tomorrow
We’ll meet as weft and warp converge…

And the hollow absence,
I carry daily…this adumbration
Will coalesce
And this stilted pattern
will epihanize
And there will be a resonated sound
Two hearts
In place of this solitary one with
a weighted shadow…

P.S. Lord, I love you

here and now

not because of circumstances

or what I can see,

or what dreams have come true

or which ones still are on the horizon...

whether or not things have gone my way,

or according to my plans

whichever way they've fallen

Lord, I will love you.

Lord, I love you

throughtout each day...

and for sure in each tomorrow...

I believe your grace is sufficient, your love abundant,

your way holy...your provision all encompassing

and your salvation of my soul

the most precious moment of them all,

thank you for enriching the journey

and for the hope

of tomorrow

Isaiah 54:5-6

Hebrews 11: 1, 6
