sliding thoughts like sliding hands
in motion with the pendulum swings
pushing that worry into the sands
covering it with a smile that sings
breathe in breathe out - minding faces
wandering eyes may steel a glance
at my notes, my eyes and my places
always wishing to see future in advance
reminding to deal with that we cannot know
remembering not all are that which bring the past
keep the mind on that wonderous glow
stop biding time on what will or won't last
faith is hard to keep once stripped
hope hard to find with your windows shut
trust a mystery when sides are flipped
empathy wanting when ties are cut
thank you for reminding me of what I missed
thank you for saying different and different do
thank you for all the times we've kissed
thank you for being you
