Eden’s Keeper

And don’t you know it’s beautiful up there, I hear you say

Only the dead get comfortable in the deep blue

Times like these you dress for the weather

Try a vital sign on for size

Announced in the halls of open waters

Call to quietened mind

Allied by a diving bell residing in the heart of today

Get clear of that great Atlantic battle, guide a higher courage

With fire Tigaki magic

She who grows fields of mercy in a world of impatient judgement

Gatekeeping a full time forgiveness

Dancing on a smile drawn for a shoreline, rest a while

In this festival wildflower fluorescence 

My Mother

Is a towering kindness

Climbing to the surface of a new day

Striking matches in a sky everlasting

And you will know where she has been

Where shadows fall short

And wait their turn
