same as light

who am I asking
the truth to reconsider
would I prefer to shift the blame
somewhere besides
these hands
this heart
this beauty of becoming
for not a moment more
would yesterday return

welcome now
the reason
this fate was come
for choosing
rescued us too late
from destiny’s sweet arms

I don’t know
I can’t say
I won’t be forsaken
but who is there to know
of words that have no voice

forgiveness
I can give it
tis not for me to carry
let go of every suffering
this mystery – this not
all shall be protected
when sworn to love’s allegiance
was more than sun to moon
planets to the right

I don’t know
I can’t see
I won’t be forgotten
there so much more than
I could say
but I can’t say it all

questions crowd the space
reserved for answers
and secrets held
as sacred
no matter to their name
truth is hid
in places vast and endless
given more to silence
intimacy is sure

living waits
to fill up every measure
wears the weight
of courage -
feels the same as light
