There All Along

Contributed by poetry_schmoetry on Saturday, 26th November 2005 @ 09:05:15 PM in AEST
Topic: NaturePoetry

Glistening, glistening

Are you listening?

It's nothing

And nothing, my friend

Nothing could make nothing

Nothing but this which is

Glistening, glistening

An open palm

And all you can see are spots

Those streetlights that cling

To the inside of your eyelids

And a year's worth of dreams

Prayers, memories, hopes, moments

Floating slow, patient

What's the hurry?

They've been there all along.

And the road

It is empty-only me

In the light of the moon

The stars, the clinging streetlights

Memories floating downward

Of scraping this unhurried fluff

From hoods and truck beds

That part of me has gone with you

And him, and him, and her, and him

But no, it is still with me

In memories that float downward

Unhurried, in the rays of a streetlight

To meet me alone-

And they remain

Glistening, glistening
