As Every Tear

As every tear wets this page
and every stormy day joins the larger sorrow
and every raindrop joins the river
flowing indefinitely

As blue sky nests in clear view
like a paintbrush, across the blue sky
seeking the next horizon
going forever on

this dessert pen records
every grain of sand
and every new way
that old is written to say

Oh the landscape that were writ with these tears
and oh the emotions which were once contained
every word meant something
oh the old silent longing

When words no longer needed to be spoken

Oh this night that falls on this wilderness
in the dessert time and lone roads
As the day breaks soon to set away
in beautiful misty light

Oh the echoe of these pines
discussion of matters I hardly knew
to find I am broken needing you
to find I am lost in only you

Words no longer need be spoken
