One Last Sigh

I brushed the fabric black fields
of heaven, ripping, a sliver of time
flashed lightning and unveiled
the universe speaking in one voice

With numbing relief I softly run
my fingers cross the firmament
feeling moments ripple in tune
with the song ringing in my bones

I sing with agony and pain
my only voice, I breathe in
bubbles of pure white light
but gasp with a tongue of hope
conversing in unspoken history

I can now carelessly stroll
cutting a swath through sheer will,
across memories rhymed to repeat
I softly tread filling my spirit
with the elation of joy and love

In memory ...

I look back at my footprints
wondering at the million moments
that will vanish on my last sigh
magnetic I gravitate to eternity

And now hands cross my face
as a second counted milli’s,
final gasps are heard in sleep
moaning in tune with the ache

Underneath tomorrow lays forever
trilling for my return to the fold
and collecting stars in my basket
I make stardust as your eyes stroll

My darlings,

You cannot follow
where I have to go
I love you into forever
it will always be so

With the standing greys
my spirit will shortly fly to rest
to see the face of the most holy
I will rest on a white doves breast

I am tired, so tired, I unravel undone
tumbling on forwards
paper fibrils flutter
I've now felt rapture in release,

I am numb and broken in body
falling forever into the night
my eyes are always blurred
as the dawn mourns its sight

reaching out of the dark of the vale
I will find my place in God’s Grace
under relief an earthquake will shake
I already miss your gorgeous face

with a last sigh I am unlaced ...
