Subject: Necklace of Gray Beads

Necklace of Gray Beads

Across the valley with moon above
the mountain on watch through the night
firefly brief, ghostly shadows flicker, wait
gray twilight where last I saw you
fondle beauties in these beads of gray.
The dial turns, the hours glide
each flint, topaz, onyx, clay
twist their face to mystery's way.
In the brush of the sky
there must be one bead that paints
for you all I would say

why varied textures are comfort in your prescence,
because you are you, and I
find the lures of beauty when hidden deep
beneath the subtle luster of low sheen

gray blue eyes years remember in windows reflection
tightly stored in safe condition
beads of beauty, forgotten possessions
wait with the one expectation
for worlds to pass

around the darkening house we played
peek a boo, hide and seek
strange intruded, bound, abruptly stopped.

Hemitite, iron, obsidian we've become
stronger than we dreamed,
Beyond us a world boils confusion.

Silence feels this smoothed hard familiar loneliness
hears the shadows of light, star sapphire
and between us the valley and heaven's moonstone
light hidden away

opals, fire agate, these labadourites
of missive glows remind
forgotten places remain
they will carry us two

discounted keys kept, love records, reviews
all we do, fearless of the monster waste of time
long devoured, we live
asleep, climbing rope bridges of beads
half on, half off the bed.
