The Conversation

For Jessica

 

It's all I can do

to keep myself

from falling apart

 

I see your face

in a thousand different places

 

Though I know it was

long ago

dreams don't know how to part

 

And I still look

for the faintest trace

to show the way and to

lead me back to what

I once knew as my heart

 

In my sky you laugh

and twinkle bright

in every star

yet so far

yet so far

 

It's a one way

conversation

a little strange I know

 

and in a voice

unsuitable to hoisting

 

We didn't mean to

ever part

but when we had to let go

 

it didn't leave

a choice for me

but trace the light of a

wind you sighed in a

sky you knew I would know

 

In my thoughts you see

and soothe me

sensitive and true

dancing through

dancing through

 

Down my darkened aeon

I have loved

none other than you

 

It's been your eyes

that have shown me all my guises

 

that's why I keep

on trying all

these words to help let me through

 

and as they rise

I imagine they will

find their wings and will

find your wind and will

find a harboring view

 

In my dream you care

and comfort me

and what I knew

to be true

to be true

 

And in my sky you laugh

and twinkle bright

in every star

yet so far

yet so far
