the blow

i see you
as i walk in the room
my arms ache
to hold you
smother fear
in love's embrace
protect your life
from this new presence
unwelcome spectre

this sand now neon
flows heedlessly
and i cannot stop it
bring back yesterday
delay tomorrow
my arms weaken

but my heart strengthens
resolution anew
to offer Beulah's comfort
eternal touch
