"The Feast Uneaten"

.....and so we have reached the end
so far from our lofty beginnings
the dream has vanished
into thin air
turn the light out
when you leave...

I want to curl into a ball
make myself so very small
as not to be seen
too tight to be loved
too hard to be touched
one last candle
is all I'll need.....

the places set out have not been touched
the feast uneaten
left to rot
nobody came
you did not care....

a new beginning
perhaps, to glory
pray for me and then
let me be
lock me in

.....and so we have reached the end
far from our lofty beginnings
the dream has vanished
into thin air
turn the light out
when you leave........

"Crossing Our Jordan"

The mighty river flows to the ocean......

I could not risk for the river to rise
and wash away our window of time
To meet where the land cries towards the sea
I crossed the Jordan that kept you from me....

Near the riverbank we finally embraced
The ecstasy to just see your face
Your divinity filled my sad eyes
Our hearts beat together
As the river ran toward the tides....

I have come east to Eden
from the depressing arid land
I drink from the oasis of
your love and you fully understand....

You quieted my rage
and pulled me to your breast
You wiped my tears and ended my quest
to find the woman meant just for me
as sure as the mighty river flows to the sea.....

I have found in you
God's purpose for me
To love and protect you
as you nurture me.....

We live and grow together at last
The hills and pines will shadow our past....

The seeds of love have been sown
and will grow in your light
You have given me strength, you have given me sight
You have made me the man I was always meant to be....

With a heart to love
and with open eyes to see.
We have crossed our Jordan...

My heart with you
and your heart with me...

And as the mighty river rolls on forever
so will my love for you.....
