Lavender

There was time when roses grew wild around my door
Columbine and poppy blooms danced in summer gowns they wore
Now the wind shakes ravaged leaves impaled on naked thorn
All that is left is lavender to soothe this icy dawn
There was river cool as green long as summer days
Where lovers swelled with promises washed by forgetful waves
But now days fly by like spears, the river flows unseen
And all that is left is lavender reminding them to breathe
Oh lavender, sweet lavender, swear we'll never part
For who can sing a sweeter song than lavender to a grieving heart
Don't leave me now
Don't lead me howling through this languid rain
For while there is love and lavender summer will remain
For where there is love and lavender here I will remain

It is a dream that you have, a happy one
Your father is there
He is staring straight ahead
There are things on his mind
He is staring at the horizon
Perhaps trees, perhaps the bend in the road
Perhaps the dry stone wall
A left turn, A right turn
Places you will know
People you once knew who lived there
And direction
And directions
And signs
To places you may not have dreamed of.
That are the aporial wall That cannot be broken
The landmarks you share
The places of adulthood
The places of doors and sash windows
And distant midnight escapes
And reckless places in dream
In eyes in smiles
In recovery
You can get it back
You feel if your fingers could find the corners of the picture
It would all be brought back
And he is a happy man
And you are a happy child
And everything would be fine
The way the seat looks forward
The feeling of the seat in front on your knees
There is no limitation
There can be air
Perhaps and perhaps and perhaps
The dreams that you have relate to things
And things are not lost
And can be replaced
And are findable in the places that they have been put
A drawer,
A drawer of decades
Pictures, slim pickings of pictures
Things you do not want to collect but have collected you nonetheless
The undesirable pictures
The ones at an angle
The ones without daylight
The ones without light
Their flesh is your flesh
His flesh is your flesh
The way he stands, the way he walks
The way he talks
The contempt for things
The judgement of things
But he is here and he is happy
And he acknowledges your happiness
And you sit looking at the road ahead
Without imperfections in skin
Without acknowledging age and change
Without acknowledging season
Because it is a seasonless dream
And the sycamores are all things at once
They are Summer and Autumn at once
And there are Chestnuts and sunlight
All of these things
There is illness and age and youth
And they are all wrapped up in one thing
One perfect and undeniable thing
It is a good dream.
He is here
It is a good dream
He is here
It is a good dream
He is here
It is a good dream
He is here
It is a good dream
