this is the day i used to hope would never come
the last page of a book
i’m not ready to put on the shelf
i can’t go back to the beginning
or the words will unwrite themselves
but i can’t move past
this full stop
you’ve placed upon our story
this is the place i’ve come to fear the most
the time
when i turn the page
and there will be words
of which
i am no longer the writer.

“We can be quiet together, and pretend – since it is only the beginnig – that we have all the time in the world.”
“And everyday we shall have less. And then none.”
“Would you rather, therefore have had nothing at all?”
“No. This is where I have always been coming to. Since my time began. And when I go away from here, this will be the mid-point, to which everything ran, before, and from which everything will run. But now, my love, we are here, we are now and those other times are running elsewhere.”
– A.S Byatt, Possession

Don't know why I'm still afraid
If you weren't real I would make you up
now
I wish that I could follow through
I know that your love is true
And deep
As the sea
But right now
Everything you want is wrong,
And right now
All your dreams are waking up,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives.
– Joseph Arthur

the path ahead February 4, 2006

our footprints stretch on far behind us,
and circle heavily where we stand now.
the ocean comes to kiss the shore,
but we’re not ready to get lost in that embrace.
our strides in tandem,
are now our baby steps seperate
which will take us in to what lies ahead
though we step so gingerly now
everything is new, this path unknown.
we won’t come back full circle
we’ll keep on going
till we walk in to the sea.

“Sir, I admit your general rule
That every poet is a fool
But you yourself may serve to show it
That every fool is not a poet”
– Samuel Taylor Coleridge
