SUNDAY PRAYER, cxlviii
time & time again
i watch the winter rain come down
like little bits of broken glass
like names and dates in a history class
so many lives that were here once
faces who smiled for the mirror once
are gone now. gone as i will be
when the winter rain is done with me.
time & time again
i watch the drops come one by one
like second glances at dances
like second chances. i will come back
as a star for when you're turned around
a little pill for when you're down
and for when you need a sad refrain
i will come back as the winter rain
i am, i am
but you're a birthday
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
