My Dead Language

I cling to the tragedy of you

I cling to the tragedy of you

I’ve wandered in your mists

Delved in the possibility of a day

Void of despair

Little by little you’ve reached me

In some small way

Still it is unclear

Though you hasten every day

Towards a bigger and better image of yourself

Not so lost in the joy of solidarity

It does bring a simple joy

That you’ve discovered

Helps you reach the sky

But just what might you miss

Whatever might pass you by

May be me

Loving you, only you

Thanking the earth for settling you in

Thanking God just for what this could be

And not what it has been.
