The Shape Truth Takes

I don’t hear you speak anymore
You’re fading away
Today I was a weightless gust of easy southern air
I don’t feel your heat any more
You never could stay
I dropped the awkward chains of earthly promises
I drifted and my emptiness was blissfully aware
That all that mattered of myself was there
I thought that I knew who you were
But how could I know
Today I was a lonely rusted wreck beside the road
You’re always searching for
Things you carry with you
And every life that passed by mired me deeper
I waited for the rain to pour and wash me clean and cold
Or for the loving earth to take me whole
Each day I wait for some new shape to take me till I know
What is the shape that truth will take, what will it show
Waiting I graze the sky
Grasping all I pass by
Fall, lose all, all falls away, when you started dreaming
I thought it would be fleeting
Was it a naive thing
Thinking we would always be
You’ve lost your face now
You take up no space now
You’ve turned around, shut down
Without a goodbye, without making a sound
I come and go and never know when I will find my way
But I will trust in life and lust to lead me day by day
Each day I wait for some new shape to take me till I am
The honesty I long to be; where I began
