It flows incessantly and will forever

though the language is full of suggestions

in the way of language

but they are all anonymous,

and it’s almost your music next to my bones
I am feeling it deep inside, it’s first of yours without my presence
after we meet, …. long after we departed
I see the world have changed, mountains turned to sea
land full of flowers, those cracks are gone, and beauty all around


these nights we hear the horses running in the rain

it stops and the moon comes out and we are still here

the leaks in the roof go on dripping after the rain has passed

smell of ginger flowers slips through the dark house

down near the sea the slow heart of the beacon flashes



the long way to you is still tied to me but it brought me to you

I keep wanting to give you what is already your
s
it is the morning of the mornings together

breath of summer oh my found one

the sleep in the same current and each waking to you

when I open my eyes you are what I wanted to see,” 
when I be with God you are what I wanted to wish,”  
when I be gone you are where I wanted to reach”
and… glimpse you cease your dream every day

― W.S. Merwin and Me
