I won’t
take
for
granted
this
transplanted
enchanted
world

From wake
to walk
and back
again
each night
I dream
your name
All my life
empty faces
shameless places
spoke of you
said they’d
tell me
what to do

How could I believe?
my eyes were closed
now
they lay
open wide
to watch
the sky
and they
never tire

You are Haley’s Comet
missed you the first time
but not again
Come back to me…

I like what you've done with this. Seems to ponder in slow motion. I wanna see it too.

Hope things are well.

For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me.
