Holding together

someone please, someone tell me
what do you do with these,
these things which won't let go.
these thoughts i can't just throw,
throw away.
the face i cannot forget,
and how i'd like to let,
let it stay this way.

but i cannot think, for the thoughts
that fill my head
i cannot dream
without this interrupting
and the strange thing is,
that's okay.

this is just temporary,
this is just how it has to be
i'll just hold together,
these small pieces till i'm back,
back where i'm supposed to be
you i cannot forget
and how id like to let it stay,
let it stay this way

just letting go
holding what's together
losing track, track of time
feels like i'm just losing my mind
but i see so clearly
and how i'd like to let it stay...
stay this way

Fall

we're watching leaves dancing
hearing the winds singing
tasting the season's hintings
and holding out hope for change
for change that is steady coming
gently, softly seeping
and i'm just here watching
holding out my hand, like before
anxious expectation
joyful resignation
breathless inspiration
just like before, last year
the only change, differring
from past events spurring
in the canvas spreading
i know i don't hold out in emptiness
softly comforting
purely re-aligning
simply awe inspiring
it's You.
as we watch the fall
