The Other Cheek

If I twist and turn my other face
Truly, would I be another place?
If my eyes could shed another tear
Would it really wash the facts to clear?

The wind would blow another day
The sun would shine the same old way
And things would die and things would fade
For this is the way that things were made

There really are two sides my face
And a third given in the mirrors grace
These to me are the three of the sage
They live in the trinity of their age

Trinity is vicinity
But does not speak infinity
And therefore I am back once more
Knocking at the astral door

And so I stay the wind and sun
The way of three that’s only one

excellently executed Sey! This has a beautiful flow to it, with just a tinge of melancholy.  

yesterday is gone
tomorrow doesn't exist
