for mike!!!

for mike, geordie and their precious baby boy!!!

every night a relief

from daytime rain there

every time a shooting star

every light gives out its simple prayer

every long duration spent long in despair

spent in the day quarantined alone here

every spirit summoning caught

and called on now it is there

every mountain,every river

softly humming its tune

energetic embers

hefty hearts

all in time to the moon

every dusty bookshelf

in my wretched darkened room

gives me pain but the covenant

will be broken soon

as one life going out

sheds its skin to something new

butterflies, I'm cinderella rid the chimney

of its ashes too

every little bit of pain

that acumulates into a strain

growing from a sprain into some hate

is massacred by loves devouring nature

destroying all the wrath abhorred by its own maker

as today the world has stopped to wait

it seems all over confined to its own space

in its own mind with its own grace

the father's steps exhale its births sloping pace

the darkened bushel outside of Milton

goes unsurpassed as any star

by any car that can go fast

but born of beauty it will last

and full of radiance its course sets fast

fixed infinitely with its sets of eyes

ears and a heart

inherited from princess princes giving space for the heretic

on this day we have to greet inherited

on this earth

upon this surface

on a circumference

near and far

of the firmament

long will he reign over this sea

and reservoir

travelling oceans the islands between

loving and singing with love for the wells

from whom he is flung

and from where he does spring

when i heard of the name

it felt long like a dream

that goes a long long way back to the tracks these two wakas

will tread life that, individual as hakas

never will lack

nor ever will stop

from the cosmos te awa te pana can draft

miracles bringing lyrics with the spiritual sting

today on this day

mike, have you got everything???
