Visit Me Here


Visit Me Here

When the shadows run from the horizon into
Nothing; when the glowing disk retreats below
Heaven; igniting the sky and the Olympic Mountains;

When the pregnant pause of silence looms as
The bird cries yield to cricket songs; when the
Light grows dim enough to want for comfort of a candle;

When the chill rushes into the void enough to
Want for comfort of a blanket;

When there is no daylight or darkness;
Only the ambiguity of some shades of blue;
When there is no rudder or sail
Only the silhouette of a lone, unremarkable bow

Visit with me here, for it is where I miss you most.
