my heart weighed an eternity’s ton today,
so i lifted my eyes to the sky -
in search of your heart, to seek
its comforting beat, if only to lull
my broken, broken heart to sleep.
but i saw an invisible strand,
buffeted by a chary breath, which caught,
only just, the hesitant rays of dawn,
then the sighs fled and filled me once again:
this singular skein bound us.
you are the sole escape,
the infinite refuge of my restlessness,
thus i plunge, i leap
into the still, silent deep, into
the cresting, crashing welcome – of home.
