Came for Love

Who knows your name
of those remaining -
who could swear
to worlds you've found?
Am I the one
your dreams invited
to share it all - without a sound.
Given words
of resurrection -
and yet in silence none are heard.

Would I know
or could you let me -
sleep forever
undisturbed.

Long the days -
of Easter coming -
and I without a thought of rest.
Do you hear me
(in stillness pleading) -
who came of love
and stayed for less?

Come to me
when life is empty -
brittle leaves (a glass of wine)
Whispers tell –
of nightbirds crying.
Love – the only touch divine.

Skipping stones
above the water -
another world looks back at me.
Cast to pools
of everlasting -
love is there in all you see.

What more to bear
beyond this presence -
tomorrow - will the rooster sing -
of ways we loved
(I will remember)
Words of life -
my everything.
