My eyes are tired,
it’s been far too long,
examining words
I’d long thought were gone.
The night draws up,
a blanket to my chin,
yet the letters reel on,
I cannot give in.
Searching and searching,
I sew back my soul,
catching those secrets
I’d left to grow cold.
Time makes it clear,
the rivers flow by,
I’ll take my chance now,
speaking no lie.
