Two more!

Moments before awareness

The prize light shows the way through twisting stairs to certain falls

To time lost rivers and darkness boards

So I step an inch a fathom a gram

Uncertain treads on an unsure land

My thoughts betray me with guidance

I await

Time itself must lose patience with me

I awake from sleep

All is fixed

Nothing moves unless you count my moods

Trees are beginning to bud

Soon the leaves of plenty will flood

Leaving us with tall rivers that gleam

Lines of order evergreen

It means

A sharp intake of breath

Pausing on the steps

Rushing for the train

Panic at something forgotten

Waiting until 3am sleepless

A warm touch

Missing a beat

Craning your neck to look

Spring in the step

A place in the past

Happiness in the now

The smell of sweat

Your delight at my face

Putting the key into the lock to fast

Feet on my back
