It’s been awhile since I made any of this…

they walked for a long time in silence
under the wind
and the westward winding of the sky
and the fall
of the dying colors
the wings of words left unheard
and the sun
goes down
scattering fragments of gold
at our feet
and soaking your face
in the color of everything that
you dream about
and i think
how much
i want to go on forever
but i am always looking forward
and every time i take a step
in the quiet
and the shifting play of light
i look behind
and barely recognize
the two who are walking
in our own footsteps.

Apologetic

Good grief.

I'm sorry for being so long absent. I'm sorry for promising everyone I'd post in early January and then not following through (I have reasons for that, though they're mostly not very good ones). I'm sorry for other ways I've been unreliable and absent and lazy the last several weeks. I'm kind of dealing with (or cowering under) some spiritual and emotional rubbish right now—that's not an excuse, just an explanation. I've wanted to write about it here but, well, you can see how that's panned out so far.

I love you all (especially if you're still actually actively subscribed to this).
I'll try hard to update soon (meaning sometime in the next week). (Maybe committing to do so in writing will be that extra incentive I need.)
