I sold myself for a handful of could have beens
And laid down among gods of wishful want
Offered up to the sky and changing winds
As a ghost that promised not to haunt
With all devices become bare before me
Of thoughts I dared not speak aloud
Given in to drowning in your sea
Then there came a contentious cloud
For reasons to discover I must endeavor
Surely fate held her sage council otherwise
Than to take ties in infancy to sever
Of ones between us that shall always bind
If not given a chance to pass heartache’s tests
Souls cannot merge through our glorious within
And at the end of the day I shall look to the west
Where I lay claim to my futile should have beens
For only a day seems now that we once were friends
The brevity only adds to my deepest sense of sorrow
As the horizon pulls you farther west as the day ends
Know that you shall resound deeper with every tomorrow

Such a compelling resonance, dear J.! If clarity can be reached, the sound will increase in purity and beauty.

Love,
