When the sun and moon and stars align And the darkness is most bitter sweet On the backside of our turning time With inches meaning less and less It's where our two perspectives meet And when the rolling river cuts its path Down beneath the deep, the grand abyss As the ages pass on through and trough That's when I will recant That’s when I will return to you For as the arrows fly and pass you by So the winds of change flow steadily on Both forward and through every tree Yet inching towards to former fount Only when in stillness will I ever be For it's between this heaven and this earth Between the sun and moon and land and sea It is WHEN we only care about When it ought to be the man to be Heaven our impatience Earth our wonder Wind a wandering mind to keep Between is no other

WHEN - A poem about the human perception
When the sun and moon and stars align And the darkness is most bitter sweet On the backside of our turning time With inches meaning less and less It's where our two perspectives meet And when the rolling river cuts its path Down beneath the deep, the grand abyss As the ages pass on through and trough That's when I will recant That’s when I will return to you For as the arrows fly and pass you by So the winds of change flow steadily on Both forward and through every tree Yet inching towards to former fount Only when in stillness will I ever be For it's between this heaven and this earth Between the sun and moon and land and sea It is WHEN we only care about When it ought to be the man to be Heaven our impatience Earth our wonder Wind a wandering mind to keep Between is no other
