I skimmed
across black water
Without once submerging
Onto the banks of an urban morning,
which hungers the first light
much, much more than
mountains ever do.
And she, like a ghost beside me,
goes down with the ears of a dolphin
And emerges unlearned
and shamed and harmed
She is the perfect creature,
natural in every feature
And I am the geek
where the alchemy's known
For all of you who must discover,
for all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others,
you will find a very special land
And it is a holy thing,
and it is a precious time,
and it is the only way
Forget -me -nots among the snow,
it's always been, and so it goes
to ponder his death
and his life eternally.

One bright blue rose outlives all those
Two thousand years, and so it goes
To ponder his death
and his life eternally
