Lost Your Face

When you are far, so far away, The longest night, The shortest winter day, will be places where I might die. The heart's interior no-one else Can view. When you are lost, I cannot find your face... Its outline on the pillows, My fingers shaped to trace... The new design, the stellar rhyme, Where have you gone? You slipped from out my arms. You slipped away. Was night or day Ever cut by such a narrow line? In your embrace I lay. You seemed so strong. Yet,sighing, took the path away. I can't see where Is it night? Or is it day..? I tried to write to bring white light, It's dark, and still. I long for you to come. Oh,will we ever quite Find out our way? Or is that pure illusion? As we stagger through the wandering furrows in the fields They shoot us down. What is this confusion? The war goes on The world goes round The mirror gapes at each new clown. But in a crack, a seed may grow.. I can't see you, But yet,it's so.
