this complete enigma
of me wanting more solitude
then company in turn
on my terms
at just the right time
who has it…
that dream
of flying
waiting in the wings by tom clausen

how ironic
coming to love
this life and world
and at the same time
letting it go…
rain or dew
the fleeting time
here

how it is
this endless desire
to know more and more
and still feel the less,
this very sorrow of knowing things
watching
the big parade
from the shade…

as I sit here
taking in the river view
I see my feelings for this life
quite like the trees
leaning slightly downstream
the wind and snow
across the field has bent
but not buried all the grasses

my youth spent
gathering strength and solace
of friends near and far-
these short years later
losing them one by one
in the world
of lost and found
always waiting…

how many people
can you connect to
and lose in a life
without feeling
quite lost

pushed by the wind
at the far end of the sky
a few clouds…
I can see that what I want
keeps changing too
softly…
