There is more in our conversation than mere words
There is more in our conversation than mere words.

There is more in our conversation than mere words.

A thread of life there runs
from you my parents and grandparents
back through eons of eons
through me to you my children and grandchildren
on forward eons of eons
it counts for us as immortality
’tis up to me this thread to spin to spin
:- Doug.
Breadcrumbs
These inklings are
Dropped along the way
Not so I can find my way back out
But so I can find my way back in
These are evidence
I am well found and lost
:- Doug.
Sitting with Quakers, I can get lost in God.
:- Doug.
Connections? no
Links? no
We hold
One another
For dear life
:- Doug.
In every way that matters
When I’m 95
When you’re 95
We will see
In every way that matters
We are just like each other
Let’s start now
:- Doug.
Take life as an example:
You move—you have life
You want it to go on—life has you
:- Doug.
What you lose, you will find
Who leaves you, will return
You victim, will be victim no more
Open, tell your story, forgive
You will be found, be embraced, free yourself
:- Doug.
This poetry
Is how
I love you
:- Doug.
