Touch-and-Go

Walked under the moon

Three Thursdays ago

I looked through my eyes

Your face, touch-and-go

Sure enough, there it was

In the windowpane

I looked through your eyes now

Vain, no pain, profane

How many, I wonder

Say just how many there have been

I’m told a high number

Since you walked away from my skin

Uncertain what day it is

Standing beneath a cloudy sky

I’m so cold, it’s so hot out

Yet the light reaches my mind’s eye

Look at the stars

They are, yes, there, somewhere

Look through the clouds

Through the eyes, through the hair

No more pain, not on this end

This particular ship has sailed

Togetherness could transcend

In time we realize who failed

I’ll be under the mighty sun

Three Thursdays from now

Gone the days when I was ready

See, to take my bow

Will look up right at the king

There is too much to not find

And will look up straight ahead

Journeying’s not for the blind
