|
All afternoon we watched that storm |
|
Over your favorite field; |
|
The wind on my face, the worry in yours, |
|
The wheat and the sea and your elm. |
|
I am dust, let me settle; |
|
All reason unwound. |
|
We are ravelled and shaken, |
|
Not touching the ground. |
|
Other places, other times |
|
I remembered my lines - |
|
But here I know it all by heart, by heart. |
|
Take my hand, I'll walk with you |
|
When we are old and beyond. |
|
Time it was when even the sky |
|
Stretched out like the map for a fight. |
|
You are dust, you can settle; |
|
All reason unwound. |
|
We are flying, unfurled, nowhere to be found. |
|
When the forest is silent |
|
Lightening will strike. |
|
We are tinder and we set the world on fire, on fire |
|
After all is said |
|
There is still no greater love. |
|
World without end. |
