Poem: And My Heart Is With You

The earth
give’s way
the earth gives
way
and still my
heart is with you
Mountains,
crack like
glass
the crashing
down of might and monolith
all a roar and
rage around you
and my heart is
with you
You will
fall, indeed
you have been falling,
and I fall with
you
gravity like
that of a moon,
breaks across
your chest
and my heart is
with you
You weep, and
rage,
and run and
wage a thousand wars
in a moment,
and now you’re
spent
and still, my
heart is with you
Ever
ever
Ever present,
Firm, steadfast
Does it
surprise you
that I am
stronger than the mountains?
Deeper than the
sea I cast them into
Wilder than
leviathans frolicking there
“Let the
earth give way,
and ocean
swallow,
structure
melting into
flood and storm
if only, Ever,
you hold me”
Held you I
have,
I will,
My heart is
with you
And when the
tempest passes:
New horizon,
wrought in breaking
New breath,
this undying,
Fresh crust of
earth delivered
in promise
through fire and sea,
And my heart
will be with you
