Say your words again

Say your words again
they have the memory of spring
the long laughter of brokenness
the small disaster of longing
Say your words again
they have the breath of your body
the endless length of light
the limited breadth of time
Say your words again
they have a hundred Bibles locked in
the gospel of holy matrimony
the fable of delusional destiny
Say your words again
they are the most truthful thing
the secret of a silent Moses
the dilemma of a lover's kisses
Say your words again
Say them everyday
Say them so that the clock forgets to chime
Say them so that the earth forgets to rhyme
Say your words again
Say your words every second, every hour
Say your words, no matter where you are
Say your words again
Say them like a bird in desperate flight
Say them like the moon finding light
Say them like the night searching for sight
Say them like a broken God tired after a fight
Say your words again
Say your words only to me
Say them like the Ocean desperate for the Sea.
