Guilt By Association

Yes, you've made
love
      and opened your 
heart to others
      Even the darkest
night
      can't assuage your
wounds
      You've drunk sweet 
wine 
        danced on the 
beach at night
       waves crashing on 
the shoreline
     Let the late summer 
winds
      blow away guilt
Only a moment before 
         the dance is over
forever
     The twinkling stars 
lasts for millenia
But you don't 
       Another pawn in 
this most human game
   of chess
and yes
    we'll take a minute 
to watch
       as you surrender 
yourself 
      to the cosmos 
      You're part of the 
vast human chain
       You're guilty bu 
association
       Let the spirits
a tell you 
            what you need to
know
