I circle around mind's persistences,
I think I should try to listen to myself,
And am grateful
That I'm not inclined
To give short shrift
To all the matters staring at me,
The ones I put in front of me
And it's such a struggle,
And oh Lord I am so tired
Though.
The road was beautiful
And the gentle land out there
Was rolling sweet
Still, I couldn't do it all,
When I went when that
Place called,
And so I didn't. I just tried,
Ever and anon.
I say I tried to lose and leave you there,
But when the spinning and the ordering
Came round, again, and stopped,
I found you, there, as here
I think I carry you, the way
We do it, watching as the road
Grows longer, far and dimmer, and
Tucking you, you're one of them,
Away in memory, journey,
Passage, and I find I'm shining
Still, I shine for you,
You're shining.
