Emily – The Emily Dahl Foundation

Emily

by Sherman Dahl

is not the way

everything is nothing

the surface exposes a net in the way

nothing is the real play

I found you beyond the game

you offered a space for me

beyond the appeals and wonderings why

it is like you knew that the ravings in the stands

would not reveal the blue sky of no pain or gain

you have never let me go

always with me

my infinite one

just as you promised

we both have won in the power play of one

and you will never leave me alone

on the court of infinite life 

where only joy spikes for all to see
