So difficult to speak

So difficult to speak

Are we no longer friends

Perhaps all we have are

Unraveling of ends

I know that you are there

But still we used to speak

When we were worlds apart

Upon two mountain peaks

Yes the time has changed me

Yes the time has changed me

And I have lost the cause

And the why and the wherefores

And the because

But the future is not lit

By the hapless lightning

Only reaching for the tallest
Objects in my sighting

I mentioned my wants

I mentioned my wants

And still I’m on stairs

Not knowing the words

The whys or the wheres

And sure was my sight

I seek far and near

The sun gives me light

While shadows are here

Here is an answer without question

Here is an answer without question

Some of us find themselves a life

While I in my labyrinth find puzzles

That twist and turn lefts into right

Diamond among emeralds

Diamond among emeralds

I wallow in worry

The World is calling you

It’s all in a fury

The still moon is still there

And there still is one sun

But the earth beneath you

Is now too wide to run

Tortured beginnings

Tortured beginnings

Hard knocks to follow

The taste of pain can

Be hard to swallow

Now a memory

That time cannot fade

Never goes away

And never finds shade

Still I am counting suns

Still I am counting suns

The moon a cyclic friend

I’m aging quickly now

Past halfway to the end

Stars in a season sky

Comets that come and go

Who will take care of me

When I have grown too old
