Circle in the Sky

I stood in the silence abiding the time until you spoke

Even needing you couldn't bring you out from where you're hiding

Sometimes the dullness of life left me feeling like I never got off on my feet

Never got to the door and never leaving

So when I called out your name no one listened

And now that I'm nailed off not a name is spoken

Then where are you, and when are you now the person that you promised

I waited so long and haven't found the thing that you left me with

I thought it was love but love is broken

An epic that everyone was involved in, no casting

So where have you been?

Not lost in the darkness

Not found in the light

Still sequestering in the beautiful night above

So slow so still in the quiet air now my love

Does the north bring me to you?

And the south back to where I laid?

Yet in the black and blue there is no sign, no shadow of where you lay.

Then where is it?

When does it?

Will it be where the unknowable plays?

Because you won't tell.

And the leaves can't say.

I'm left with everything that I want to create

But when I want nothing what is it then will I delineate?

To you about all the questions that my endless curiosities leave me every single day.
