Conversation

So I would not end this conversation with you,

Rather walk long roads to hear more of your words,

To try to better understand who you are

To try to better understand who we are.

On good days see how beautifully we danced,

Played a word song that flowed in rhythmic harmony,

As bodies can and wild hearts too.

Though on bad days how cruelly we jarred against the other,

But there is always another way too, always another way through,

But you returned to your prison where I’d still visit if I could

But bitterness and anger bar the door

And a ‘Christian welcome’ is a sign to keep me out.

But still there are words to speak and love to express,

And soon green leaves will come back again

And soon the weather will change

And soon I will look to walk and walk with you…..

To talk and talk with you, but you may not be there

And so the sunshine will seem cold to me and this blue sky grey

And your absence will be a ghost by my side

And your memory the sweetest dream I cannot hold on to,

For though your anger crushed my heart

And your silences pulled me down

I have always believed in your beauty

Remembered the gentle glow of your caring

And heard the sweet whisper of your loving heart.
