splinters
the morning storm ~

                   the morning storm
                   rolled into my peaceful dreams
                   when tossed about
                   as pillows
                   feathers flying free
                   buckets filled
                   and sideways rain against the
                   ailing shutter
                   was there a morning lark
                   her song unsung
                   light was splayed across
                   the lawn
                   splinters down the hallway
                   what other would be terrified
                   to go
                   but in this awkward peace
                   of understanding
                   I know the rain
                   and he my story knows
                   of other days
                   the dark was come
                   and left behind another
                   made stronger by the lightning
                   deeper by the boom
                   flowers sprang
                   from rock outside my wanting
                   even now
                   the roof recalls
                   each sweet goodbye
                   some pitty pat
                   ratta tat
                   come and let me in

                   I'm rocked asleep
                   as tender rivers swell
                   how much of me
                   the storm was made
                   remembers me so well
