BIRTH SONGS


We were born into all the years
still to come that
someday
will also go

on an August morning early
the first decade mark
of the new century
whose end
we will not see

I was witness to
the deep sorrow the
anger the
distain

the truth being one
different thing for
each of you
without great understanding

different though
I could hear the difference

she being strong one way
you being strong another

man and woman
who had walked
side by side
sometimes
hand in hand

but not heart in heart
mind in mind
body in body
soul in soul

singing different songs
in serious winds

going though hells and
high waters together
yet still
alone.

living things die.
living things birth
are born

the sky passes day to night
without a sigh
silently the planet
turns in its given
space

sometimes we bind together
blindly
sometimes
by fate

sometimes
the Song is so strong
Its Fate so definite

that nothing can stop Its
coming

Its birth is more than
even Spring
can manage

It carries the two
into one
to a very real love
that cannot ever
really die

and no words
in angry hurt
or hate

at the death of a
love gone wrong

can change
one
single
note
