Hidden

Again

8/15/03 Again How do I fathom this How do I feel It all again - In just an evening Or over a weekend I never learned it The first time The waves crashed in I never yearned For sin But In it came I’ve never been the same We Died I thought I lied to ease the pain I sought for something better I...

Respite

8-12-05 (revised 7-22-06) Respite It would be Nice To rest again if I could And feel like Someone was watching Out for me Just long enough to Sleep awhile He might just stroke my forehead The way my Mother used to do Or lie on the floor beside my bed The way Paul Andrey would Or push the fear away...
