"Eavesdropping" a poem

Eavesdropping

As we banter on
Chit-chatting about anything and everything
As birds often do,
Flitting about the branches
Hopping around on airy errent errands
I sometimes overhear
Our secret hearts
Conspring together
Beneath our words
Beyond our conscious intentions
Inaudible to all
Plans and purchases
Vows and dreams
A trysting trust
Which appals me now,
For never heard I
Such muted cadences before
With any other.

"Is this real?"
I wonder.
"Am I deceiving myself?"
Ama must know
For I know nothing.
Perhaps I'm just a fool?

"Trust is for fools," I told you.
"Yet, I trust you."
"That must make me your fool."
You smiled.
That was enough.
That was everything.

"Yahweh Addresses Abraham" and "Reprise" Poems

Yahweh Addresses Abraham

Forgive me friend
For pressing so deep
Into you being
I had to fathom you
Plumb your faith
To see with my own eyes
What your love for me
Proved capable of.

Now I see
Now I know
How great your faith can make you
A greater faith than any
I've met or made
A greater faith than
My own in you.

You never lost your trust
True to your troth you submitted your All
Were that I could do such Grace!


Reprise

Oifia, O Amakin
Tis no sin to break faith with me
The Tree of trust is a slow growing twig
You shouldered the weight of my trust
And broke that sapling twain
Now I fathom your soul
And know what you can do
And what you cannot do.
But my heart is bruised too
And my phoenix sun has ashed.
