and so it begins

the day ends with my first effort in a year or so....Much has gone down in life since my initiating this blog...and I have been less than focused on its maintenance and growth...will start this up again by posting poetry and images and see what develops...


 

Youth       

Through all of youth I was looking for you
without knowing what I was looking for


or what to call you I think I did not
even know I was looking how would I

have known you when I saw you as I did
time after time when you appeared to me

as you did naked offering yourself
entirely at that moment and you let

me breathe you
touch you taste you knowing
no more than I did and only when I

began to think of losing you  did I
recognize you when you were already

part memory part distance remaining
mine in the ways that  I learn to miss you

from what we cannot hold the stars are made
