I can feel the hollow

Call from deep within

Shallow waters in that empty

Feeling cavern’s an echo

Sobbing into the hands of what?

Seems like forever and a day.

The aching cold cutting and deep

With nothing left to bleed.

Rest seems oblivious to you

As you continue on your way

Everything else is going elsewhere

I’ve already been there;

And you, lasting in all things, remain

Above reproach.

All those steps ahead were traveled

In the tailwind of yesterday

Time to step aside, get in tomorrow,

Here warm yourself toward the future

In the darkest moment, that glimmer,

May not be the end of the tunnel,

It was the night sky all along

The clouds have passed the moon rises

And infinity appears.

The whole of you, as part of the deepest,

Intertwined feeling of creation’s fire

You are a sparkle

In the overcast heaven of my night sky.
