The Last Time

because this may be
the last time
I sing this song
sincerely and reverently
into open air
in this place
that knows my stride
through braided seasons
seemingly without end

I sing
as the cardinal
opens the day
radiant in golden hue

I sing for you
as the song dances on air
in the intervals 
between sound and silence

I sing
because this time
shall be unlike any other
echoing in the place
memory reserves as its own
