in the eyes

What can you do to make yourself new?

What can you say to give it all away?

The waves still crash and my heart still jumps

But the calm inside is a new tide...

Tell me what lies behind those piercing eyes

What journeys have been taken?

Where has the mind walked as it struggles to be free?

The elbows still bend as I lift my hands

My hands are still wet from the tears.

I feel like I’ve waited a life time

But I’ve only lived for short years.


The warmth you shine on me is but a breath,

And now I know you’re breathing still.

I’ll sit. I’ll wait.

I’ll anticipate the rays, the sunlight, the dawn

And tomorrow I’ll stop waiting...

Perhaps tomorrow I’ll move on
