Still Enough

 

Still Enough - Brander Raven McDonald - Feb 12. 2026

" i made my advance... took your spirit's advice... i made it all subtle... but not mixed with ice... you set it all down many decades ago... you had turned far away and turned into stone... but you would drop in all along the line of my life... always a question but never with strife... you would leave me with a vision of you deep within... that would pore out of my heart with each new moon and season... and to the two roads we never did cross... in this heart's burden deep in the chest... you would still stay aloof and vibrating forlorn... like the survivor of ship wreck and a heart full of storm... so as the years past and you started fading from site... as sure a hell you'd come burning at night... when that moon it does rise as sure as the telling... you'd be the firelight in my sleep that is so worth the dreamin... and now on the verge of another convergent of soul to meet... and all the times that its seems so bittersweet... i would still hold fast to the change that in bloom... that you would reckon me still a soldier most true... but the remembrance of a touch of your hand on a guitar of mine... the delicate yet glorious thought so divine... and as each in its turn the moon it does glow full... i still hear and feel your heart how it pulls... each time... and still enough for this longing soul..."
