tom taylor - spring loaded

spring loaded

somewhere in this haze maze her arm reaches through
the cloud and mists of absence and warmly touches my
heart in a moment of contact and suspension all at once
I’m thrown into myself with comfort and welcome again

the newness of these dreams come true is their suddenness
and completeness in my being as though the long redressed
infirmity were suddenly swept away leaving only silence and
light between my eyes like a new narrative beginning right here

make no mistake beloved you are part and parcel of this hum in
my years that won’t stop now that it’s begun to find extension
into the time available for love and friendship after all the left
out unbearable absences we’re now replacing with pure love
