Pdlyons's Explorationsthrough her he was to know god
she brought him inward
through a darkness full of wonder
empty of fear
she shared him mysteries
free from all that was jagged
it was not big
it was not seduction
it was an encompassing healing
a grace full of joyful weeping
silence the first breath he ever fully took her beauty communion

All negativity derives from fear. When someone is angry they are afraid. When someone is rude, they are afraid. When someone is manipulative, they are afraid. When someone is cruel they are afraid. There is no fear that love does not dissolve. There is no negativity that forgiveness does not transform.
-Marianne Williamson from A Return to Love c1992,1996.

“Tattoo on Leaving Gettysburg”
—P.D. Lyons
For Stacy
The dead of Gettysburg reach out, soak us with desire.
Teaching us its tears that shape their ghosts.
Even down at the Blue Parrot,
Drinking Pennsylvania Porter and Jameson’s
We find ourselves with them,
And at the motel
Phone ringing with 2am complaints,
Does not stop us the living from honouring the dead.
In the morning Stacy’s Chrome Garden
Soft hum needles lullaby beneath my skin,
Winged horses form a few more drops of blood for Gettysburg
While you, holding my hand as if in hospital
Think of ways to further delay our leaving
Because like me you crave the company of ghosts
And too you know the need the dead have for healing.
