Disappearing

rest here a moment
in the space between tales
and ask the questions
that need asking

this old house
is disappearing
revealing a narrative
untold and alive

listen now
the heart is begging
for unheard voices
to sing their songs

and you and me

we’re stepping stones
for each other
over this wide
unknown river

so let’s emerge
from yesterday’s armour
with naked footsteps
vulnerable and light

and when the year’s
mist is cleared
I’ll meet you then
and disappear

into the unforeseeable
with shining, untamed eyes
