Long Pond

i enter the water to leave this time
to be quiet green
to be alone
you move in and out of my thoughts
without my consent
i descend to the beyond
to a space too large for you
each of these moments is a story
some of you stir my soul
i wonder if a single day passes
without you
why i want to keep it and frame it
in this cloud words fall slow
the song plays for days
and then leaves
i wonder what they remember
i wonder if you are just like a song
i am afraid to free the space you take
to lose my knowing
to gain more miss
