i knew a man

i knew a man
who stirred within me
a cauldron of ideas
in a single movement

he knew me
before i met him
and met me
in all my wandering ways

we saw the sea
we watched the waves
we rode the wind
inside of ourselves

waiting for the sun

now darkness is
the promise
down the road ahead
and uncertainty is
the constant
in my heart

but each word
he whispers in my ear
takes me back
to what is sure

even though
how far
even though
how dark
even now
how true

each word is to me
a steady guide
on the road

back to the sun

alive again
with him

(new)
