It Was a Good Morning Until
It was a good morning until you came, but I told you
that there was nothing else left for me to again say.
When everything said and unsaid by us you knew,
the wandering words seemed to have lost their way.
You looked at me close, but could find nothing new,
for there wasn't anything else hidden in me to again see.
When essence of me for you was in crystal clear view,
my transparent visage showed you the dreams in me.
You wanted to fly again by my side, but I did convey
that there was no trace of my sky left for you to soar.
When my bird of longing forgot the way it flew away,
the chasm of time parted us, and you I didn’t wait for.
