Returning Home

I see you.

I look at your face and remember the place that you're from.

I hear you.

It's your heart keeping pace with the love and the grace that you're used to.

And you come, with those brown yearning eyes and lord knows I try not to disappoint you.

But I tell you, that back there is a dream of a time that was seen through ****** eyes.

Your eyes, still as young as I remember, still as wide and still so tender with youth.

In my eyes, which are old like the sea, which are cold yet are keen I see, I see.
