Miles from May (Full Circle)

Life moves in cycles, cycles of change and cycles that stay the same. Things fall apart, things come back together, and the dissolution of the old forms into the new. In the end all we can hope to do is control ourselves as the tide moves us and the seasons change. Even under unfamiliar stars, unsure where to navigate, there is hope that things will all come together in the end.

Miles from May

The autumn sun is near

A heavy haze still yearning

An evening made of pages turned

Heat mirage still burning

Out in your eyes there is an ocean

A long lost light along the coast

Guidance for ships still caught at sea

In storms forever churning

In these absentminded moments

I wander down the shoreline

Peering up at constellations peculiar

Ancient fires staring purely

When Winter's touch had warmed my heart

I was set free from mooring

And found myself trapped in unrest

In tides of loneliness and fury

Longing for a thousand starlit nights

A touch more than worth the waiting

In shallow seas my soul remains

Dragged along the shoals

Now we're miles from May

Daylight leaves us waylaid

Up and at 'em for the evening

Just to find this conversation

So ripe for the taking

Saving myself from those blind teeth

Around curves kept so divine

And passages worth seeking

Find my eyes at the end of the road

I've promises and torches to burn

The moon is just a sliver now

But I'm hoping for full circle
