Train to Vienna

Happiness hides between the seats

On the afternoon train to Vienna

See! My heart no longer bleeds

From when he tore it up last December

 

I find my universe in the azure sky

Always guarding my darling soul

And as time goes by 

I watch the spring birds fly 

 

After months of damage control 

My breath passes a new set of lungs

There's a light on in my chest

My heart's at home, she's playing her drums

No longer second best

 

Today I visit my magpie friends 

Up and away we float 

Today my hands are my hands 

I'm man of my own boat 

 

These words I sing to the sun and kiss her good day 

This poem I dedicate to the deer born in May

For allowing me to love them fearlessly

And always waiting there for me

 

When my trust in humanity has gone travelling

The blurry fields and mellow lights pull me right in 

 

And whisper 

You, whose bones are made from love

Our sister

You'll find warmth you're worthy of

 

For now, make do with your largess 

Snowdrops they bloom for march

Granting young bees a fanciful dress 

Love's a lover's reward
