Words Waiting for Music - Two 2003

what happened to our special bond?
has poison killed the root?
who broke the covenant?
was it me or you or both?

they say you never meant to hurt me
do you suspect I even care?
pride hurts to consider the size of the price
or the bitterness accrued with each passing year

did we both resent and judge and curse?
now that space and time have done figures of eight
and despite our plans our paths have crossed
can we grow enough to forgive and forget?

I know I want to taste your pain
to see you regret, repent and fall
but the circle would just turn again
self interest motivates my will
to somehow resist, let go, be still

love to hear the pitter patter
of your fingers on the keys
love to feel your attention focused
on your own creations and fantasies

love to experience zero pressure
to hunt or fix or provide safe shelter
love to be free to focus my energies
on travelling alone and exploring wherever

everybody always seems to want to claim
your name
we want to minimise, specify, define and contain
history indicates the future is the same
can you change it?

touch pierce
fire flame clean
fearfully proactive
intervene

are you there?
let me plug into you
I need you to replenish
my supply

are you there?
like you always are – like the sun?
I need your radiation
my secret high

are you there?
generating as you do
the stuff that dreams are made of
my life, my why

are you there?
whoever you might be
whatever is your name
your plan
your game
I just don’t care
all I need to know
is that you’re there

of all the relationships
yours held the loss of disappointment
failure was real
the estrangment was wrong

of all the hearts
yours remained the most human
perceiving clearly
the implications of reality

of all the eyes
yours contained the most compassion
holding comfortably
straighforward honesty

it became easier just to let it all go
but for so long you never did
it was an effective solution just not to think
but you chose to struggle on attempting internal reconciliation

I feel for you now
the way you once felt for me
wanting to hold out hope
to rescue, to somehow make you see

of all the approaches
yours commanded the most respect
your bottom line solidity
the way you appeared to refuse to reject
