Terra Aqua

You could have let me know

A long time ago

That your road never merged

That your headlights never faced home.

I lost something in the grey roads between the blue

Of here and there

Twilight permeating my wanderings

 It gives me the feeling of forever

But I keep bouncing against the stratosphere.

An old woman once

told me

Let gravity work for you

Things have a way of shuffling

On the way down.

You never end up

With the same pattern you began with

When you lock claws with your devils

And wrestle them in the fading light

As the angels watch

The seven heavens, preoccupied -

Light years away, like blue getting lost,

On its way to the earth.
