November 11, 2000

the rest of my life is dreams
indigo silence and swirling galaxies
like the touch of a stranger
unknown if a destiny awaits

i am alive and i survive
arriving with the morning beauty
of jagged mountains stark
against the rain of clouds

and i see god in the loneliness
in the battles where the light
between full moon and sun
fill with sadness and destruction

i wade numbly in the water
over these cold slippery rocks
where i have fallen
and cross this river of stars
