Old & Turning Around Corners
Who are you now?
 through day the sky smiles, at night it weeps and bleeds
 Still so it is with me
 Love & memories don't fade,
 my strength & surity grow
 Inbetween the spaces that they shade.
  
 I'm still finding my own grace
 through what I've come to see-
 that love is craven in it's order,
 slow & swift, Inept & Keen
 A gorgeous, filthy, starving creature
 A life undefinable, without reason or ending,
 no prescribed "meant to be"
 still, there is the certain knowing 
 that loving you was meant for me.
  
 Who are you now?
 I think my soul would know
 Remember when I spoke of being lost,
 of centuries & turning around corners,
 of us both growing old?...
 Is that knowledge still there in the dark windows of your eyes?
 will it etch into your skin, 
 leaving for love a map in those dear lines?
  
 In autumn or winter, will you find your way back?
 Love, I would wait  Still   Alone,
 finding beauty & happiness within the snow,
 so that, together, we could feel that certain summer once again.
 The wind blows.
 Who are you now?
