And so it is
As Wild God plays
The Song of the Lake
Oh never mind, never mind
And so it is
Without nature’s light
I have to take a shower
Thus to energise myself
And so it is
That I could have worked
These past seven years
Except for those few days
And so it is
Not to see
Or here from you again
Is a waste of love
Up and down the country lanes
Round and round in aeroplanes
As if in the flotation tank
As if swaying by the flames
Over and over the words he turned
Back and forth past and future churned
As if the photographs from the bank
As if all of love’s knowledge learned
Here and there he tried to recall
Now and then with hopes to stop the fall
As if the monasteries felt the shank
As if the father championed you with the scroll
I’ll say again to wait until the day is through
I’ll say again you are top of my top two
As if the registrar was your rank
As if you waited to feel the new man new
And I love you this way
And I love you that
I love you on the causeway
I love you on the flat
I go to you in my dreams
I go wearing my hat
I go to you with full resolve
Once more to play the neat straight bat
I am here and now
Wondering where you are at
I have seen one fatted cow
Walking slowly as you plat
I listen to the Australian man
His CD came in the morning as I sat
Oh lord how I loved and ran
Into the future for a longer chat
I am almost at the end
Of this small notebook
A book which I have lost
Oh so so many times
Just as I left or lost
At least three relationships
Somewhere where, like now
I was busy doing something else
The future is unknown
Will I meet another
Is that a part of my journey
Who am I to know that
I write, but perhaps I ought
To draw or paint
Yes, at least one big canvas
As someone once said I should
High and low
Nowhere to go
Also no place to stay
But, put a face on
One on one
Is not the end at all
Don’t fall for the curious
Or the jealously insane
Reframe the positions
Take risk endowed decisions
Rearrange where you can
Exchange jealousy for trust
Take belief from rust
Wake up to the sunrise
Take a last look at the moon
