Heart-Talk

You Are There But You Are Not

I want to be clear

But can not shake the fear

That everything here

Is not what it seems

That everything here

Has a light that never beams

A creek that never streams

A dream that never dreams

And a you that never means

A word you say to me

It was one of those seasons

Of one of those years

Where all of your Sundays

Felt like Mondays

It was one of those reasons

Of one of those fears

That tell you

That I am not afraid

To be left

I am afraid to be disappeared on

And have to live wondering

If either of us

Were ever really there at all....
