“You feel so far away today
Your path leads north
And mine does not.
I came across a field just now
I thought that
You might like it.
Eyes wide open
Arms stretched out
I still had much to learn.
And when I crossed
Your path back then
I thought that you could show me.
How Skin could feel
How blood could cook
A heart that aches is a heart that lives!
I want it once
And then move on
On the path we’d find ourselves
Now that I know
I can’t let go
I’ve known before
I’ve known with you
I speak in voices
You once heard
I move in steps
As you might do
I can’t go back
To how it was
I have become
The person
You might have known.”
“That’s how we summon better days”, my witch giggles. “We pretend they were already there.”
