[city lights]

me and the extremes;
comin down and so much closer than you think.
between the candle and the flame,
we put away the smoke and pick things up again.
take away the night and the sun;
heaven is here between the lines of love.~

[september tenth]

i wait, and as the wait through's through me now,
having in and having me now; take me now but,
but hold breath and hold faith and refrain ;
life waits in the capture of God.
we are captivated by the beauty that remains;
sways patient love; it comes, it stays.
we wait, for a better day and come softly now, for
i will be the last to know.~
