Grace

Blue is the season
and my heart deep indigo.

Oh, friend,
tell me a story.
Make me laugh.
Help me to forget.
Steal time from bitter grief.
Sit with me occupying time
with your better grace.
Or wrest from me this precious purgatory
and throw it over the mountain.
Teach me to live
free in the wind.
