The Leper

I see the seed 
I see the root
the ground is dry
the ground is starved
but I see you

your barrenness
Is your shame
birthed from a life of pain
associates with lepers
and the lame

he has stripes too
wounds that cut the soul
associates with
prostitutes and fools

there's beauty in the broken
and I see His beauty in you

Beginning

There’s 
A slow 
And steady
Warming 
Of hearts 

There’s 
A slow
And steady 
Forming 
Dreams


A quietly 
Growing 
Comfort 
Of companions

A subtle joy 
Of newness 

On the pathway 
To beginning.

This must
Be
How 
Love 
Grows. 

Wind

The 

Memory 

Of you

Passes

Through me

Like wind 


I know 

One day


I’ll stop

Feeling

You
