Personal Poetry
Poetry is not my primary medium; I am much more consistently drawn to songwriting which, while related, is quite different. Music supplies a lot in lyrics and it can be more visceral.
But in various seasons, I feel a draw to poetic writing. I'm excited to share more of that here - something that hasn't had much of a natural home yet in my work but I think belongs here.
Quiet Love Heals
Quiet love heals
Many still-buried violences--
Pours in, just so, steady,
Awakening the silences:
Slowly, slowly caressing
The fine, thin delicate places of skin—
The darknesses that hide within the pitied spaces:
A vibrancy and lustre in the grey, wake of death;
The joyful repair,
The innocent, inquisitive eyes
Of a beloved.
