An old poem exploring science, religion, love and the ways we keep each alive in one another.
I’ve a scientific understanding
Of the world you left behind
A world destroyed by intrigue
And failure to consign
No way to know your heart aches
For you alone could feel
No way for me to counsel you
In lies you could conceal
I’m missing what we used to have
But having much more now
Within a self I’ve left behind
Who followed you to vow
I realize now I can’t be with you
You’re a vessel out at sea
While I may be the lightning shower
You’ve no eyes with which to see
And so I must continue here
Along a path anew
Away from all you made of me
Away from all of you
And I must flow to darkened lands
My eyes the sea so blue
Away from all you made of us
Away from all of you
Never shall you see me more
Though I may e’er see you
Beneath you as always before
Away from all of you.
