The ocean has spoken
She threw herself upwards and
spun the stars into a mascarade
And the stars tucked their tails and
bowed down to the salty wonder
And I held your hand
like it's been there the whole time
The night became a glimmer
and I squeezed it in my palms
I felt the sky beneath me
where the weight had gotten heavy
and I began to dance with all that was
It was the comprimise
of mind and heart
and the choice has echoed and
haunted me like the ghosts you
see in the reflections in the hospital windows
it's whats left of you and me
I opened up my hands and
I let the morning out
It painted all the clouds as the sun was waking up
And the trees began to shimmer while
they stretched their branchy fingers
And I whispered through your ear, as if
I'd never spoke at all
And you see it and you saw it
But you said that you could not.
A lot of sadness in that final line . . .
Starward
