Bluebird in the Branches




Your voice,
a spectral
note

Played out,
on a single string...

The sound...
reaches from your hollow
innards

Out
Into
space...

Through the distance,
the vibration of that chord.

Outside It's hearing,
all is dark,
all is still...

Out of immeasurable time,
comes my wanting...
as long as I can remember,
I've longed for your loving
to love you.

Here,
sitting still...
A bluebird in the bone dry branches,
Father for the fire...

Your song,
whispering gently My Name,
My solemn...
holy...
doom

Oh Delicate dancing,
You turn and fly away...

Invisible now,
Hearing your winded voice
through the son lit
brush

Calling...
Leaving...
gone, the branches
gone, the leaves
gone, the trunk
gone, the roots
gone, the ground
gone, gone, really gone
