daddy's ghost behind you
sleeping dog beside you
youre a poem of mystery
youre the prayer inside me
spoken words like moonlight
youre the voice that i like
needlework and seedlings
in the way youre walking
to me from the timbers
faded from the winter
-sam beam
a sudden, heavy chill rests in my chest and on my back, weighing heavier with each passing fall day. nearing the winter that presses me down; blankets folded tightly in the attic. sudden memories of things ive never known, and in the darkness i trace my fingers over the worn letters; recognizing songs ive never heard, but whose tune ive whispered to myself on the days my mind wandered across the mountains.
_______
love is the scene i render
when you catch me wide awake
love is the dream you enter
though i shake and shake and shake you
and love's the best endeavor
waiting in the lion's mane
-sam beam
