Drifting

You swam away on the seas,

away from me.

and in my dreams I see you drift away

I tried, I tried,

to reach out to you

But I can hold no sway here

nor in the cataclysm of life

that happens sometimes -

or most of the time.

Nor in the power of the sky,

of the earth and the wild winds;

whose mighty gale took you,

without a second thought of me

I’ll say goodbye

and I’ll never know why

this crash of time and space and

who knows what,

ended up hurting us –

splitting us apart

I don’t ask for reason

I know now there is none to be had

when it comes to that whole question at all -

everything just is, and was, and will be

The march of time left you behind, and

I’m so sorry,  

that the wave didn’t  take me too –

but I’ll always be dreaming of you.
