Rock

So, what is left? Within this time...
The foundations shift and change
Peacefully and with conviction
My conviction is here...It's the only thing left
Of friendship and words and warmth
Thoughts of when and how...but no if's
So my mind is noisy and within happiness there is grief
A flame beneath a calm spring of emotion
A strange contradiction of elements, spreads North
The place where magnetic life both ends and begins
Where pain exists beneath love and joy
Whirling winds meeting on a laser point
Throwing some of us further out
yet others closer and yet more of them feeling torn
and confused ... and alone
In breaking warm bread and sipping sweet wine
There is no foolish, external salvation
Just what will be ...
in earth and cement and rock
