At The Point

Standing here again - beyond this there is nothing but the sea

The wide Atlantic flows - from Sanna goes on out to where once we

Wove with every careworn hope - feeling's finer threads

Laced with all the longing and with some regrets

Living then it seemedin the madness and the magic of a dream

Oh but darling what a dream it was – for once to live and breathe amongst

Heedless souls set on their course

Of bootless errands causes lost

I'm at the point I'm on the edge

Where a host of other passions pledged

Fidelity and faith again

To some other deaf heaven than mine

That dressed the dawns and dusks in dews

Painted them all 'ash-of-roses' powder blues

But never answered any prayer I sent of you

Heavens never dothey never dothey never do

Fools and angels both - when the holiest of ghosts come back to life

All go rushing in - the spirit yearning once to do or die

But - begging their forgiveness – what do angels know

About the hunger raging in my mortal soul?

They have the wings to fly and all God's grace but darling you and I

Couldn't make the starts align – or change one tragic twist of time

(Jude I cried – did you not hear?

You've gone and left me stranded here)

At the point where all roads end

And if I know - you're never coming back again

Why is something here inside me still waiting?

For your return - attending stillupon a wound that never healed

Is it for the fear that if it does

Then all that's left of you is lost?

At the point and though it seems

That I might now be closer than I've ever been

More than just this wild ocean stands between

It's everything it's everything it's everything
