Way Out

Way Out

 

 

 

Tonight

The moon is your face

Nothing between

Past and now

Dark and light

 

Yet, there are still

New places

In your eyes

I have not traveled

 

With you

Or alone---

 

So many years

We have been busy

In getting old

Attaining goals

Stretching our hearts

Thin and fragile

As a fuse

Exhausting

The little love

We cannot keep

 

Being foolish

Is part of human

They tell you

There is no

Way out

. . .

 

Tonight, the moon

Is in your face

Still young---

Doing nothing

Saying

nothing
