Greg Easley Poet I do not know?

Can'T We

The winter went away
and you came along
wish you well, I
wish to tell you so much

Can't we come and go
but never leave
we must believe
the tides that brought us
can't we?

Can't we listen in
to secrets safe here
keep them til' we're
old and grey, someday
can't we?

I found a strawberry hair
upon my sweater
but left it there
for when I next time wear it

And spring is 'round us
reddening your face
and bringing out the freckles
finely strung across it

Can't we love like love
is itself our own
yet unknown
to all the wide world
can't we?

Can't we lie down now
in softer grass
as it may be our last
night with the stars all flick'ring
can't we?

The winter went away
and you came along
wish you well, I
wish to tell you so much
