Sometime's Too Hard
Some days and nights it feels too hard
not to turn back former times,
ages and stages,
agreements and arguments,
investments and divestments,
births and deaths,
to ask all rebirth questions
I had no voice to ask yet.
Sometimes it hurts ache deeply
not to turn back able time
to ask my wiser questions of today
before we slipped apart.
Deep time may help to remember
I never could have learned to ask
if I had ever known more power
to stop time's flow
Remembering why this time
in this wide place
we could ever hope to meet
just right
on riverbanks of questions.
What were our odds
of landing here together
given all of time's vast space
invested to remember
what to ask each now together,
and why,
and how long is too short.
