But What Did You Need To Know
The grass is still green
the sky is still blue
the ocean's still there
and where are you?
Under the starlight when the night
is so still
watching the universe as galaxies
spill out
and will you be happy
behind the darkness when the Sun
breaks through
in front of the mirror where the mirror
is me seeing you?
until
and at the side of a sea,
I call myself Galilee.
Some disciples with scruples
some without such
beware
the touch of a Judas.
I have grown in the minefields
and have
blown away in mindless days
but
Summer was always so.
so
what do you need to know?
