When I Get Quiet

When I get quiet

I am thinking about you

Of what we are

And what I will do

When somehow, some day

One from two.

Morbid and yes

Deepest of blue

How deep my love

This far from new

When I get quiet

I am talking to stars

Of what is in store

Will they be ours

When some day

Somehow

Living's scars

Take my breath

Slack your spars

How deep they are

Love's reservoirs

We talk about a hereafter

There's got to be something!', you say

You're placing your trust in our crafter

I cannot get past the clay

When I get quiet

I am hoping to learn

Where I will stand

At candle's burn

Is somehow, some way

No concern

No hill to climb

No favor earn

Only love

At our adjourn.
